CHRISTINA RODRIGUEZ OF UM-NSU UCARD
ON NEURODIVERSITY FOR UMSOA STUDENTS
We teach Universal Design to graduate and upper level undergraduate students at the University of Miami School of Architecture – a top 50 program out of more than 500 schools of architecture.
While much of the focus is on designing for people with mobility impairments -- we also spend a great deal of time educating future architects about design that improves lives for people with visual impairments, hearing impairments and those in the neurodiversity community.
