Co-designing accessible AI tools with music therapists

Summary

This project examines an ethical and equitable AI framework for making music therapy study and practice more accessible to blind and visually impaired groups. It focuses on how AI tools can support participation, communication and learning while remaining grounded in accessibility, inclusion and care.

The work brings together music therapy, human-centred AI and co-design practice. It asks how accessible tools can be developed in ways that are clinically relevant, ethically sound and genuinely useful for people with different needs.
