For autistic and ND learners, “dynamic” shouldn’t mean “chaotic.” It means adaptable.
- Zoned Architecture: Create “high-stim” areas for collaborative movement-based math and “low-stim” pods for deep focus.
- Visual Predictability: Use lighting and floor color-coding to indicate the function of a space, helping students transition mentally without needing verbal cues.
- Manipulatives at Scale: Instead of small desk toys, the lab could feature large-scale architectural blocks that allow students to build 3D models of geometric proofs.
