Wayfinding: Many people with neurodivergent conditions need and thrive on repetition, predictability, and clear boundaries to feel ‘safe’ and in ‘control’. Environments needs to make sense… thus effective wayfinding is key. But overly redundant spaces lack inspiration. Having a space where there is more to it than meets the eye can make people feel more engaged and eager to move through the space while still keeping it easy to navigate.
Places with clear lines of sight and viewpoints: Internal staircases or mezzanines help orient us in a space. Designing spaces with intuitive wayfinding elements can assist our brains’ innate positioning systems. Be it various lighting levels, signage, art, or the strategic use of color that act as memorable landmarks, creating spaces that are memorable with a varied landscape can also aid with orientation.
