Revised Brief

Area of enquiry
Intended outcome: Design solutions for Autistic people focusing on aids that help overcome social difficulties, encourage integration and independent functioning in society.
Possible outcome: Designs that aid and encourage co-operation in the western society of the twentyfirst century.

In response to the presentation feedback I have narrowed the areas of interests down to two fields. These are the two main important areas of intervention that would most aid integration into society.
The Sensory World: Balance, Body awareness, Touch
Social Interaction: Improve co-operation, Active Play, Role-play, T.o.M.
I will examine both areas closer and look at the possibilities of combining them.

Research has shown that early response to Autistic children’s special needs makes a major difference to their rate of improvement. Therefore designing well informed and challenging interventions for the 3 - 12 age group is particularly important and necessary.

Additional Considerations: Neurodiversity, Positive aspects of, Learning from Autism, Education of acceptance.
Social Responsibility: Ethics, Thorough research, Holistic approach.
Project Evolution: Unexpected, Transferable, Conceptual.
