What caught my eye in this reading was the idea that disability design should not always be about hiding disability or making products invisible. I found the discussion about glasses especially interesting. I never thought of glasses as something that used to be seen mainly as a medical device and later became a fashion item. It made me think about how design can change the way people feel about using assistive products. Instead of making people feel embarrassed, good design can make people feel confident. That idea stood out to me because it shows design is not only about function, but also about identity.
Also I found it really interesting that the reading’s challenge to the belief that discreet is always the best approach for disability-related products. I used to assume the best design would make these products as hidden as possible, but the reading made me question that. Sometimes trying to hide disability can actually reinforce stigma. I liked how the author connects fashion and disability, because at first those seem like unrelated topics, but the reading shows they can influence each other. Overall, the reading made me think of design as something more social and cultural, not just practical. It made me realize inclusive design can help change attitudes, not just solve problems.
