5.2. Summary

From these studies, the approach to design can be broadly divided into two kinds as discussed earlier; the neuro-typical approach and the sensory-sensitive approach. These approaches then determine how the design deals with various issues such as zoning, circulation and so on. Neuro-typical approaches seek to replicate ‘real-world’ settings whereas the sensory-sensitive approach seeks to create a carefully curated sensory environment to maximise comfort and the ability to focus and learn for its students. The observations and illustrations listed above have been compiled in Table 10.
