Experience Categories

Experience categories were divided into areas of need based on overarching impacts found by evaluating a variety of neurological differences. The categories were grouped into: Audible, Visual, Environmental, Physical, Social and Cognitive.

While each category speaks to different ways an individual is affected by space, as described on the proceeding page, the categories are not isolated. For example, window shades help to control light and thermal gains, thus impacting both visual and environmental needs. You will see impacted categories highlighted on each of the strategy pages. Where one design strategy can impact multiple experiences, all applicable categories will be highlighted.
