Neurodiversity can be briefly defined as the natural variation of human minds. Each person has different characteristics and needs. We differ from each other not only in appearance, but also mentally. People with dyslexia, dyscalculia, on the autism spectrum or ADHD are defined as neuroatypical. The concept of neurodiversity emphasizes the strengths of these individuals, such as creativity, spatial imagination, attention to detail or high motivation, for example. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Neuro-inclusive office as a response to the needs of neuroatypical people<\/h3>\nBecause of such people, the concept of a neuro-inclusive office, that is, one designed to be friendly to people with different needs, including those with disabilities, was created. Neuro-inclusive spaces are also designed to support the mental and emotional health of employees. Neuro-inclusive people need work spaces with specific functionalities. As research shows, the average person spends about a third of his or her life at work, and what spaces we spend time in have a significant impact on our health and well-being. This makes it all the more important for people with special characteristics to feel comfortable in their workplace. <\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Functions of the neuro-inclusive office<\/h3>\n

1. A neuro-inclusive office should first of all provide comfortable working conditions, that is, it should be equipped with ergonomic furniture and equipment.
2. Another important issue is lighting adapted to the needs of employees, providing the right brightness and color of light.
3. When designing the acoustics of the working space where people with special characteristics will be, attention should be paid to minimizing noise.<\/span><\/p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Acoustic and visual separation of workspace<\/h3>\nAt the beginning of the article, among the neuroatypical people we mentioned were those on the autism spectrum or with ADHD. Such employees require special adjustments to their workstation in order to perform their tasks. One solution to make them more comfortable is to acoustically and visually separate their work space. Such people are particularly susceptible to external factors, so their work will be more effective when they have their own space, devoid of distracting stimuli. <\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Recovery zones<\/h3>\n No human being is designed to work for a full eight hours in a day. Every once in a while, each of us needs a moment of rest and relaxation and an opportunity to get away from our duties to occupy our heads with something completely different for a few minutes, such as coffee with a colleague from the desk next to us or a quick game of foosball. To be able to take a moment of relaxation during a day filled with meetings and complex projects, it is extremely important to have a place where we can rest. Such a space is particularly needed by neoroatypical people, so an office made in the concept of neurodiversity should offer spaces for both social, sensory and active regeneration. Rest areas for such people should have access to natural light and be characterized by spaciousness, allowing for calming of the senses and effective relaxation. The active regeneration zone, meanwhile, will satisfy the need for movement for people with ADHD. <\/span>\n\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Greening the office<\/h3>\nGreenery in the office is never a bad idea, and especially if neuroatypical people work in our company. Greenery calms, improves mood, arouses positive emotions, calms and relaxes. And on this point, probably nothing more needs to be added – greenery in the office space is good for the well-being of both neurotypical and neuroatypical people. <\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
