INTEGRASI KONEKTIVITAS UNTUK ANAK AUTISTIK DENGAN KARAKTERISTIK HIPERSENSITIF DAN HIPOSENSITIF

Abstract

Autistic children have special characteristics in their sense of sight to help them respond to certain sensory stimulation. In order to help them blend in the same environment, few things are needed to stimulate their senses. This study uses sensory approach to design rehabilitation centers for children with autism. The Research Center is needed to accommodate 2 characters of autism: 1) hypersensitive and hyposensitive in one place, one of which is to present a meeting room for them by using a sensory garden as a natural lighting element, a social place, and as a healing environment capable of providing space for child improvement. This character is needed to determine the therapeutic, psychological, and sensory processes to be well received. This research is a qualitative research with phenomenological approach as the main discussion. Obtained from the expected get a description as close as possible to the experience of individual autism. The building element design will discuss the sensory design and behavior of children with autism, the design of mass movements, shapes, space, the use of materials are the main considerations in conversation.
