    The document discusses designing a school for children with autism that meets their sensory and educational needs. It notes that autism causes impaired social skills and repetitive behaviors. The environment for autistic children should avoid overstimulation with low sensory features like neutral colors, limited visuals, and controlled lighting and sound. The designed school aims to include separate work areas, good ventilation, sanitation, and an atmosphere without distractions to accommodate the special requirements of autistic students.

    School for autism children

    In our project we are going to design a school which meets important, necessary
    and essential standards for children suffering with autism.

    Autism is a disorder of neural development characterized by impaired social


    interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior. How this
    occurs is not well understood. Neurophysiological and neuroanatomical studies
    paint a picture of the world occupied by those with Autism as chaotic,
    overwhelming and filled with “noise”. Coupled with this is an internal
    environment of hyper arousal.

    Physical environments with higher amounts of sensory stimulation (e.g bright


    visuals, displays, background noise, etc.) will add to the “noise” in an already
    overloaded sensory system, making any new learning extremely challenging. Thus
    physical structure should be considered in any environment in which the person
    with autism interacts, including classrooms, playground, workshop/work area,
    bedroom, hallways, locker/cubby areas, etc.

    Children with autism typically do not segment their environments. Hence features
    like painting the walls with non-stimulating neutral colours, limiting amount of
    visual clutters are to be considered. Fluorescent lights produce distraction and must
    be avoided. Hence features to control lighting like curtains are used.

    Auditory distractions are also reduced by using acoustic tiles, lowering the ceiling
    and by other appropriate facilities. Separate work areas have to be designed for
    those students. Apart from those features we also try to bring out good ventilation
    facilities. We also aim in bringing good sanitary facilities for the students in a good
    atmosphere devoid of distracting external environment.

    Thus our project is designed to have a model working school for children with
    autism meeting their special requirements and their special educational needs.
