In the AAHID Community Connections: Designing for Invisible Disabilities – Understanding Neurodivergent Populations session, leading Certified Healthcare Interior Designers (CHIDs) will share how healthcare spaces can better support neurodiversity through adaptable, calming design and sensory-friendly features.
Designing with neurodiversity in mind is not just good design; it is essential. That’s why this AAHID Community Connections webinar focuses on creating healthcare environments that support individuals with invisible disabilities across the lifespan. This insightful webinar is open to all CHIDs and AAHID industry partners, and design firm partners.
Designing for invisible disabilities is essential to supporting neurodivergent individuals in all stages of healthcare, from infancy to aging. Autism affects 1 in 36 children, and dementia impacts over 5 million people. The webinar will also cover strategies for engaging stakeholders and using design tools that promote positive emotional and cognitive responses.
Topics include:
– Autism, dementia, and the need for sensory-friendly, adaptable spaces
– Design strategies that promote calm, clarity, and dignity
– Tools to engage stakeholders and support positive emotional and cognitive responses
This webinar is approved for 1 IDCEC CEU credit.
