Autism, sensory design, sensory issues, physical learning environment,Abstract
The designated learning environment for autism should consider sensory issues to overcome their needs. This paper would review related articles to gain a better understanding of autism needs regarding sensory design, sensory issues, sensory space, internal environment, and physical learning environment. This paper will outline the sensory design of the physical learning environment that would impact by the sensory design towards the physical learning environment. This research paper would be a guide for the designer to overcome sensory input so that autistic can learn more efficiently and develop with less stress.
