Understanding Neurodiversity

Understanding Neurodiversity

Our designs are informed by a deep understanding of neurodiversity—acknowledging the unique ways that neurodivergent individuals process, experience, and respond to their environment.

Core Design Beliefs

  • Neurodiversity is not a deficit, but a difference to be supported
  • Environments must be adaptable, not the individual
  • Design should affirm identity and dignity

How This Translates to Design

  • Avoiding overstimulation while encouraging curiosity
  • Offering sensory choices (e.g., fidget zones, lighting control)
  • Valuing the child’s voice and experience in the design process
