Designing and delivering neurodivergent-friendly spaces

On-demand

Overview

Neurodiversity refers to the natural variation in the human brain, including individuals with conditions such as autism, dyslexia, ADHD, and others. These individuals often have unique strengths and abilities, but may also experience challenges in traditional built environments.

In this webinar, we will explore best practices and design strategies to create more inclusive and accessible places for neurodivergent individuals. Attendees will gain an understanding of the unique needs of neurodivergent individuals, and learn how to incorporate design elements that support their sensory, social, and cognitive needs.

Key topics that will be covered include:

  • An overview of neurodiversity and the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals in traditional built environments
  • The importance of sensory-friendly design, including lighting, acoustics, and furniture
  • Cognitive design elements, including layout and organisation, that can help neurodivergent people thrive
  • Case studies and real-world examplesof successful neurodivergent-friendly space
