Designing for a mental disability

At: de Twentse zorgcentra

De Twentse Zorgcentra is the largest provider of care and services to people with a mental disability in Twente. De Twentse Zorgcentra works together with furnishing companies that furnish their buildings. However, the special requirements of the clients are not always taken into account because they are never put on paper by the de Twentse Zorgcentra. This is why de Twentse Zorgcentra asked for lists of requirements and wishes for the target group that uses their facilities. They also wanted a list of requirements and wishes for multifunctional spaces and dynamic age populations, respectively. These lists were created, and were edited such that the use was made more efficient. Filtering options and options to edit and add more requirements were all explained in a demonstrative video
