Therefore, in the study three schools were selected from Amsterdam, Delft and Utrecht cities of Holland. In research, existing physical conditions and spatial features of the schools were determined by using observation technique and interviewed with directors or teachers of each school.

Abstract/Notes: According to the Neurodiversity Paradigm, there are no good or bad brains, and no one type of brain is the right kind. People have different cognitive styles, and it is natural and healthy that people think differently. Neurodivergent people require acceptance, tolerance, and accommodation rather than seeking treatments that aim to make them appear neurotypical or attempt to make them forget their cognitive differences. This thesis examines neurodiverse architecture with an emphasis on early childhood learning environments for preschoolers. By carefully examining different learning typologies, we may better understand how children can develop abilities like problem-solving, communication, and motor skills. Developing these skills early is crucial in the growth of children, especially for neurodiverse children who have autism. Analyzing different kinds of early childhood learning environments provides diverse situations, which can help children to discover what works best for them and see how their differences may be advantageous to everyone.
