Description
Designing for Autism Spectrum Disorders explores how the built environment influences individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and other forms of intellectual/developmental disabilities. By applying environmental psychology and education principles, architects and designers can create spaces that positively impact individuals with neurodiversities. The book discusses various design elements, including color, lighting, space organization, textures, acoustics, and ventilation, to promote growth and learning for individuals with ASD. It covers topics such as designing homes, therapeutic environments, work environments, and outdoor spaces, as well as strategies for promoting healthy living and aging in place. By understanding the impact of environmental design on individuals with ASD, readers can create spaces that support self-actualization, well-being, and a high quality of life throughout an individual's life.
