ABSTRACT
Neurodiversity describes the variation in human neurocognition, capturing a range of diagnoses and dispositions of how people perceive and experience the world. Many neurodiverse people have the ability and desire to be part of the workforce and lead an “ordinary” work life. Workplace design is able to support neurodiverse workers through adaptations, including accommodation of scale, material selection, enclosure, and different levels of sensory stimulation, such as light, sound, temperature, and air movement. This chapter reviews current methodologies applied to design for neurodiverse people and how these can be adapted to the workspace, providing built environment spaces that support people with different levels of sensory responses.
