This scoping review examines how and when co‑design is used with adults with acquired neurological disability and their lived experience. It finds co‑design remains under‑researched and underutilised, yet is meaningful, supporting participation, connection, belonging and learning. Future work should better define co‑design and invest in facilitation roles.

The aim of this scoping review is to synthesise available peer-reviewed literature which investigates the use of co-design in research and/ or service development with adults who have an acquired neurological disability and live within the community.
