Inclusion in the Museum: A Toolkit Prototype for People with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Hay algunas cosas interesantes en esta tesis/proyecto. Principalmente cuando hace referencia a Emmons, Cumine, al Diseño Universal y a Firth (aunque todo el tiempo la cita como Firth).
De Cumine cita:

Social interaction tips:

• Understand that the patron may feel threatened by the physical closeness of others

• Allow time for a patron to be alone at times and for breaks

• Go at the patron’s pace when trying to develop a rapport – you may need to adjust to their developmental level

De Emmons:

Emmons (2005) found the following arousing factors:

• Loud, sudden noises and/or voices
• Strong odor(s)
• Fast movement/unexpected movement
• Bright lights, bright colors
• Light or unexpected touch
• Changes in temperature
• Background stimulation/noise
• Unpredictable events

Inherently calming factors include:

• Soft voice
• Soft odor(s)
• Steady, expected movement such as rocking
• Low lights, natural light, muted colors
• Even temperature
• Minimal background stimulation/noise
• Predictable structure and routine (p. 116).

 Sobre el Diseño Universal incluye:

Universal design materials: These include temporary arrows, temporary footprints for suggested patron physical placement guide, picture flip cards with approximate timing space available, and large visual floor-plan map signage.
