Description
People with developmental disabilities process sensory stimuli in unique ways. For those with autism spectrum disorders, especially, atypical sensory processing can greatly impact their everyday lives. Become informed about current evidence regarding sensory processing and design implications to enhance sensory well-being. You will explore a recent case study of a sensory well-being hub for students with developmental disabilities installed at a public high school. You will gain a deep understanding of the design and research methods used to create this multi-sensory environment, and see how to apply the lessons learned in your own designs serving this population group. This course presents an overview and findings from research funded by the ASID Foundation Transform Grant.
What You Will Learn
- Identify developmental disabilities and their associated sensory needs.
- Describe general design implications for a multi-sensory environment.
- Articulate design implications for sight.
- Explain design implications for hearing.
Access period: One year from registration date.
