Overview
This live online course explores the principles of designing for neurodiversity and wellbeing. Neurodiversity is a term to cover the diversity of human minds and cognitive function and can include dyslexia, dyspraxia, Autism and ADHD. We will investigate the relationship between neurodiversity and the built environment, how design affects and can respond to these issues and how this relates to legislation including the Equality Act 2010 and design guidance such as PAS6463.
Course outline
In this interactive workshop we will explore:
- Neurodiversity and the wide range of ways people think, process, and experience the world.
- The connection between neurodiversity and the built environment, and how thoughtful design can support comfort, focus, and independence.
- Design with wellbeing in mind, creating spaces that reduce stress, enhance clarity, and help people thrive.
- Putting learning into practice with a hands-on neurodiversity audit exercise.
Through group exercises and discussion, participants will share ideas, ask questions, and reflect together, building confidence and understanding of neurodiversity and the built environment.
This training course is aimed at anyone considering a career in access or interested in inclusive design, designers improving their knowledge and those looking towards possible future NRAC accreditation.
