Abstract
Today, the increasing need for inclusive school environments is driven by the growing population of neurodivergent individuals, particularly those sensitive to sudden and loud noises. Addressing their specifi needs enhances their educational and social performance and improves conditions for all students. Inclusive design can lead to more effective learning environments, fostering a sense of belonging and reducing stress for all occupants. This study investigates the influence of acoustic stressors in school environments that accommodate neurodivergent individuals who are sensitive to sudden and loud noises. The research focuses on identifying noise sources such as objects falling, doors shutting, school bells and chairs scraping. A range of classroom settings wil be simulated to determine whether the produced noise could be configured as a potential stressor for autistic individuals.
