A handicapped bedroom design means
using one's creativity to fit the handicapped individual's needs
which can range from changing door knobs to widening doors or
for children with autism, this may mean taking into
consideration sensory
integration.
Motion, balance, touch, and
anything that integrates the senses may be included in designing
this type of handicap bedroom. A
fun feature for these rooms can include Sensory
Swings or the
Floating Bed.
This
site gives a list of how to redesign rooms in your house for
accessibility:
