Abstract: The Brazilian population is composed of 23.9% of people with disabilities. These citizens live in search of equal rights, possibilities and opportunities in relation to others. Designers can collaborate developing products that fit the body, needs and skills of this population, promoting autonomy, independence and quality of life. Fashion is a daily use product that can be designed to assist disabled users and their caregivers in the act of dressing and undressing. Co-Wear: Functional Fashion Co-creation Method was developed to bring together designers and people with disabilities in the development of functional and inclusive clothing.
