The evaluation and design were conducted in a framework of Service Learning AR.633 Inclusive Design Course conducted by the Architectural Program if Petra Christian University. The Service Learning method was suitable for this because educating the architectural students about the Inclusive Design and serving the less privilege persons such as diffable students. The evaluation process as well as participatory or inclusive design was creative. The process involved the interview with blind students and blind teachers, the accessibility simulation of the Architectural students in the blind school, the Focus Group Discussions with diffable students and teachers (including the diffable teachers).
