CONTRIBUTION TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERIOR SPACES IN HYPERACTIVITY AND DISTRACTED ATTENTION: AN ANALYTICAL CASE STUDY

Abstract

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) comprises a deficit in behavioral inhibition, a condition affecting increasing numbers of people annually. The study of proper spaces, their design methodology, and adequate learning environments, especially in schools, for a particular class of people is required in developing a design methodology of spaces for children who suffer from hyperactivity and distracted attention by allocating proper design spaces that satisfy general and special considerations. However, this methodology depends on contributing to the development of different interior spaces for children with ADHD to achieve the same goals, that is, a rich opportunity to create sufficient spaces for such children. The aim of this study is to develop a design methodology that reflects the foundations and considerations of interior design in the context of the Saudi Code to design special places for people with special needs according to principles of sustainable material use.
