Determinant Factors of Sensory in Creating Autism Learning Environment

Abstract

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have difficulty sitting still, focusing, and attending the task. Creating a sensory environment would promote a conducive environment for them. Sensory sensitivity, sensory stimulation, sensory design, and physical learning environment are the key concepts contributing to the autism environment. The study goal is to explore the design criteria for creating a conducive environment for autism.  This article is to examine the reliability and validity of the four main constructs.  This is important to ensure the quality of achieving the data. The study's significance is to provide a guideline during the design stage and improve the autism learning environment.

Keywords: Autism Spectrum Disorder; Principal Component Analysis, Autism Environment.
