“…However, the classroom is an important element as the place within the school where the pupil with autistic spectrum disorder will spend most of their time and, if comfortable and relaxed, may be the secure starting point for those venturing into the bustle of the wider school environment with their peers. Therefore the ASD‐friendly classroom is worth looking at, and in detail, where generalised design guidelines, as is commonly the case when designing for children with cognitive disabilities (Khare, 2010, p. 1), however well intentioned, may be so generic that they do not actually make a meaningful difference to the pupil with autistic spectrum disorder. Moreover, lessons learnt by looking at ASD‐friendly classrooms might be introduced or considered in mainstream learning environments, thereby further encouraging integration of the pupil with autistic spectrum disorder into the mainstream classroom.…”

“…This is evidenced by the need for both additional storage space and overall classroom area in comparison to mainstream classrooms. Importantly, the extra storage space gives the teacher the opportunity physically to change the environment to suit the needs and mood of the pupils (Khare, 2010, p. 47). This can be especially important for younger children whose toys and learning aids can be physically big (Myler et al ., 2003).…”

“…However it is salutary to remember that this then places a real emphasis on the architect and educator in ensuring that the environment is an authentic aid both to supporting a child's education and to aiding inclusion. Just as a well‐designed environment can be supportive, an ill‐conceived environment can be harmful to a child's education (Khare, , p. 99).…”

“…Most public-school environments have not been designed to suit the unique sensory challenges that many children with ASD, ID, and ED experience. Several authors have expressed surprise that little research is available to inform designers how to create supportive environments for them (Irish, 2019; Khare, 2010; Martin, 2014; Shabha and Gaines, 2011). The knowledge can be difficult for designers to find and is often “fragmented and inconclusive” (Shabha and Gaines, 2011, p. 228).…”
