In the mean time, the author also works as a teaching assistant in the special education class of a junior high school to help thirty-one students with disability. “Communication” in life is normal but precious to these children with disability. In the study, design skills combined with the experience of special education are applied to a shared-creation approach which lets children get more opportunities and courage to express themselves. It aims at connecting people and these children to know each other. As a result, it’s expected to see that children with disability are able to have confidence in joining this society. The proposed share-creation method had two sections. The first section was one-to-one co-creation between the author and two children in the special education class respectively. We drew and talked during the share-creation activity to make chance and environment for “communication”. The other one was the thirty-one students colored themselves on the illustration paper. Instead of the result of drawing, the goal of these two sections was recording the process of drawing and company. Let students know that they could no doubt draw and express themselves. As a result of this share-creation experiment, successful communication could be achieved between students and teachers.
