And it’s not just noise: Our technology is a major point of distractions today as well. The consistent “pinging” of our phones, IM, or other communications tools are often more of a distraction than even the people and noise of the environments we are sitting in.
To mitigate distractions: We need to design spaces with options and empower people to find the right solution that meets their specific needs. That should include areas for focus, areas for concentration, and the creation of tech-free zones where we can escape the impact of constantly being pinged by technology.
Sensory Stimulation: For people with developmental disabilities, sensory cues can be overwhelming. Having a space where you can control sensory stimulation is important. Just as a person with different physical challenges requires unique solutions tailored to their needs, so is the case with neurodivergents. Solutions that may work on certain neuroprofiles may not work on others. For some it’s a lack of stimulation while others are easily overwhelmed by it.
