Summit Overview
Across this summit, they will share good practice in housing design for autistic people and people with sensory needs (including people in mental health hospitals, or those at risk of admission). Their exploration of this topic will be led by person-centred values. They aim to increase understanding of sensory differences and why these matter in housing design.
Their goal is to review the literature, knowledge and expertise already available, and use that both to identify a set of shared principles. They will create an online ‘home’ for this learning, collecting together the most useful resources. This work is intended to support autistic people and their families, housing professionals, support providers, commissioners, architects or others working in this space.
After the summit, they will publish a report summarising the learning from the panel sessions and discussions.
