Document summary

PAS 6463 gives guidance on the design of the built environment to include the needs of people who experience sensory/neurological processing differences. This includes neurodivergent, neurodegenerative, hypersensitive and other neurological conditions which can affect sensory processing and mental well-being.

It incorporates principles to ensure that people with or having a range of sensory/neurological processing differences are able to access and enjoy their experience of the built environment equally. This includes people with Autism, ADHD, Dementia and other neurodivergent or neurodegenerative conditions, while also providing inclusivity for all.
