Designing neuroinclusive workplaces: advancing sensory processing and cognitive well-being in the built environment

by  Kay Sargent

Description

While we all process information differently, neurodivergent individuals often fall outside established societal norms. Approximately one in five individuals worldwide is considered neurodivergent. These neurominorities possess unique strengths that can be harnessed if they are in environments designed to be welcoming and supportive of their needs. By employing strategic spatial zoning, patterns, textures, colors and soundscaping, we can create spaces catering to various sensory needs. Even minor adjustments to physical spaces can drive giant improvements in cognitive function, fulfillment and belonging for both neurodivergent and neurotypical individuals. This groundbreaking book reimagines the design of offices, laboratories, airports, healthcare facilities, sports venues, and educational spaces through a neuroinclusive lens. Readers will gain insights into how specific design elements, such as spatial sequencing, sensory zones, colors, textures, lighting and sound can create a more inclusive built environment. The book presents innovative strategies for optimizing spaces to accommodate hypersensitivities and hyposensitivities across all six work modalities, ranging from focused tasks to collaborative endeavors. Readers will also discover new inclusion practices that can boost productivity in the workplace and transform high-stress environments, like airports, into more welcoming and functional spaces for everyone. The future of design is undeniably neuroinclusive
