Join us on Therapy Unmasked, brought to you by Ability Innovations, as we sit down with special guest Rachel Jackson, an experienced interior designer who specializes in creating sensory-friendly and ADHD-aware homes and spaces. Drawing from her own experience with ADHD and that of her son, Rachel shares how her design instincts naturally led her to a niche focused on making homes work for the people living in them. She explains her detailed intake process, which helps uncover a family's unique sensory blend and the common environmental frustrations she sees, typically related to: 💡 Lighting 🔊 Sound/Acoustics 📚 Organization and Visual Clutter Rachel discusses her range of services—from DIY guides and self-paced courses to full-service design and professional development for therapists and designers—all aimed at spreading the powerful impact of neurodiversity-aware design. Key Takeaways You Won't Want to Miss: Understanding Sensory Profiles: Learn why taking your child's sensory sensitivities seriously is the first step, and how to look at emotional reactions as a form of communication. Flexible Living: Rachel provides a fascinating example of how simply repurposing rooms (like turning a seldom-used dining room into a quiet family room) can dramatically improve home life. The Universal Win: Discover why designing for neurodiversity, as famously stated by architect Magda Mostafa, is truly "designing for everyone," leading to a calmer, more comfortable environment for the entire family. Quick and Budget-Friendly Home Tips: Get actionable advice you can implement immediately to lower the "temperature" of your house, including: Switching to warm lamp light in the evenings to aid melatonin production (aim for $2700-3000$ Kelvins). Embracing sound machines and rugs to address acoustics and reduce echo. Tackling visual overwhelm with her simple Four Piles Organization Method (Keep, Price/Resale, Donate/Recycle, Pitch). Tune in to learn how thoughtful design can reduce stress, improve organization, and bring a feeling of calm and stability to your home environment. Love, Your Friends At Ability Innovations 💡
