Centro de ensino e desenvolvimento para crianças autistas em Palmas – TO: arquitetura sensorial

Abstract

Autistic Children exhibit impairment in their kinesthetic sense, due to a sensible and fragmented perception of spaces. External stimuli can result in sensorial overloads that could cause physical and mental exhaustion. In this context, the objective of this work is to develop a theoretical study to give basis to the draft of an Education and Development Center for Autistic Children, using as the principle a sensory and equalitary architecture to solutions that contribute towards the psychoeducational advancement of those children. For that, the methodology used was bibliographical research of related studies as instruments of analysis and diagnostics of the conditioning aspects of the project implementation area. It is believed that sensory architecture qualifies the space built for Autistic Children, offering, beyond physical and psychological comfort, autonomy to its users.
