This essay seeks to position the experiences of people who live with disabilities in their interactions with the built environment that surrounds them. It argues, in part, that a hands-on approach such as co-design, which relates the personal experiences of individuals with the processes of design, can promote the inclusion of people living with disabilities. This paper also recognizes the existence and possibility of alterations to the built environment initiated by people with disabilities who, despite their disabilities, transform their surroundings to better their conditions. For these types of processes, the term user-initiated design –UID- can be defined, becoming a tool of empowerment for these individuals. These writings briefly develop the concept of user participation in design processes, analyze the use of empathic participation methods utilized in design processes with disabled individuals, and conclude that design directed towards this population cohort requires a participation that involves knowledge based on these individuals, and which should be deemed irreplaceable.

Este ensayo busca situar la experiencia de las personas con discapacidad en relación con su interacción con el ambiente construido; argumenta que los abordajes participativos como el co-diseño, que involucran las experiencias de las personas en los procesos de diseño, pueden potencializar la inclusión de personas con discapacidad; reconoce la existencia de procesos de modificación del ambiente construido iniciados por las personas con discapacidad, quienes, a partir de la afirmación de sus capacidades, adecuan sus entornos para mejorar su condición; define, para este tipo de procesos, el término: Diseño iniciado por el usuario-DIU y reconoce en él una herramienta de empoderamiento, con este propósito, el texto presenta de forma breve el desarrollo del concepto de participación en los procesos de diseño; analiza el uso de metodologías participativas y empáticas utilizadas en procesos de diseño con personas con discapacidad; y concluye que el diseño dirigido a este grupo poblacional requiere emplear procesos participativos que involucren el conocimiento situado de las personas con discapacidad, considerándolo irreemplazable.
