The Importance of Design Elements in Special Education of Individuals with Autism and Learning Disabilities

KnE Social Sciences / International Conference on Art, Design, Education and Cultural Studies (ICADECS) / Pages 32-40

Abstract

This study examines the fundamental relationship between design and special education. The paper presents a literature review on autism learning difficulties and special education, including the scope of sensors, training, accessibilities, learning methods and requirements, and their connection with design needs. According to the study, the benefits of using specially designed elements in special education can contribute to the student’s learning and perception processes. A further recommendation is to develop more research in educational materials specially designed according to an individual’s design needs in reading, acquiring essential life skills, and communication.


Keywords: Autism, design, special education
