Autism Friendly Architectural Design: A Discussion with Dr. Magda Mostafa

It is now widely accepted that for autistic and neurodivergent individuals to be fully included and successful in educational and vocational settings, the design of such settings must support accessibility and be sensitive to the specific environmental challenges posed by different settings. Such challenges may occur due to the sensory and social demands inherent in schools, vocational settings, and everyday environments. Dr. Magda Mostafa, a leading expert and innovator in architectural design for neurodivergent individuals, discusses her groundbreaking work that is at the forefront of influencing autism friendly design and has helped to improve quality of life for autistic children, adults and their families.
