This study focuses on children with ＾physical clumsiness. Children with physical clumsiness may have various difficulties, among which we will focus on ＾maintaining seated posture,￣ which we believe has a particularly large impact on independent living after completing their studies. Children with physical clumsiness may have difficulty maintaining posture when sitting in a chair to learn, eat, or perform other tasks, but without appropriate support, some may develop chronic back pain, joint pain, or other orthopedic conditions that require treatment. In today’s Japanese society, sitting posture may be a major issue for the individual and those around him or her, as the act of ＾sitting￣ may accompany the individual when learning at school or working in the future. Therefore, in the practice of this research, we created a product that supports the seating posture of children as described above. This paper discusses considerations for the design of the product in the above practice, based on the concept of ＾ableism.￣ After presenting our position on ＾ableism,￣ which is opposed to the idea of ＾approaching people without disabilities,￣ such as the use of a product that enables a child to sit in a so-called ＾correct posture,￣ we considered products that do not deprive children of ＾becoming able to.￣ The accumulation of experiences of ＾being able to do things￣ leads to a richness and enjoyment of life and self-confidence. It is also thought to have the potential to alleviate the physical and mental pain that the individual is facing. Based on these considerations, we aimed to create a product that would not deprive the child of ＾being able to do￣ and that would be compatible with ＾accessibility that is not n ablism approach,￣ and to find one answer to the question of assisting physically clumsy children to maintain their posture based on the results of the verification of this product. The research was conducted with the aim of finding an answer to the question of how to support physically clumsy children maintain their posture. In practice, we actually asked one student to cooperate with us and focused on lunch time, when the target student’s posture is extremely unsteady, and produced a chair with armrests to assist with posture during lunch time. Rather than correcting the student’s sitting posture, we aimed to encourage the development of the student’s physical senses through the product, and to enable the student to acquire as sitting posture that is comfortable for his/her body at his/her own pace. Based on the results of the verification based on video recordings and observations, it is considered that the product was not effective enough during this verification period in terms of improving the extreme hunchbackedness caused by the armrests. On the other hand, we believe that the product concept was effective in three respects: to allow the body to move freely, to facilitate acceptance of the product, and to allow for flexible production according to the situation.
