Designing Learning Environment for School Children Having Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Journal: Architecture Engineering and Science DOI: 10.32629/aes.v5i1.1756
Abstract
The goal of treating attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is to apply knowledge, not to acquire new skills. The prevalence of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children is rising daily around the world for a variety of reasons that have a direct impact on their mental health and hyperactive behaviour. The classroom atmosphere in the current ADHD schools is poorly maintained, which makes it difficult for the kids to focus on the specific task being done in class. As a result, the students have a variety of difficulties in their academic lives. This method aids in the pupils' mental stability as well as their academic success. This paper aims to suggest the best design strategies for the classroom environment in a school space for children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.
