Neuroinclusive Design: Foundations for the Built Environment

Learning Objectives

By the end of this CEU, participants will be able to:

• Define neurodiversity and identify common environmental stressors that affect cognitive, sensory, and social well-being in the built environment.

• Apply key principles of neuroinclusive design to improve health, safety, and welfare outcomes for diverse building occupants.

• Evaluate real-world design strategies and case examples across sectors such as workplace, healthcare, and education.

• Analyze environmental stressors — sensory, cognitive, and social — and propose design interventions that create a more supportive and engaging human experience. (linked to the group activity)
