i have been thinking about this a lot. its for my thesis topic in interior design of a special school.
i am trying to use a 'homely enrivoment'(example of a term) in the interior space as a sotion to the behaioral problems and needs of mentally retarded children.
through colors, furniture and space planning.
so the topic goes like this.
The application of a homely enviroment as a solution to the behavioral problems and needs of special children through colors, furniture and space planning.
(was actually thinking about changing space planning to materials and finishes)
why homely enviroment?
because i have read in one book saying that educating a mentally retarded is effective on residential schools because you don't really teach them academically but more on teaching them on their daily living skills(bathing,dressing). its like making the school feels like their own houses
my question is:
is there a better term i can use as a solution for their behavioral problem and needs?
