ARSIP MERAH

       Autism is a pervasive or developmental disorder that impairs the ability to communicate, social interact, and behavior. And Ecotherapy is a method that emphasize emotional and psychological well-being through outdoor activities in green environment.

​

       In order for these two variables can be correlated, where ecotherapy can provide physical and mental relaxation, which is needed by children with autism who cannot control their emotions, especially the hypersensitive type. Aside from that, ecotherapy will provide activities which focuses on the child’s basic abilities, and not a specific and rigid activity, which is needed by autistic children aged 2-4 years, where even a child under normal circumstances, their main activity is playing.

​

       So this ecotherapy facility design for children with autism is called ‘Rumah Alam Anak Penyandang Autisme’, that provide services in the form of a natural therapy to maximize the potential of children with autism aged 2-4 years, and encouraging the community to maximize the use of nature by minimizing its destruction.
