This chapter presents some very brief “teasers” to expand the concept of a collaborative innovation network, and then explores the specific benefits that organizations and individuals can accrue through COINs. These benefits are linked to the cases that will be presented in Chapter 5. The chapter concludes with a graphical introduction to the idea of organizational transformation to foster a COIN-supportive environment.Less

Emanating from the research, the design guidelines translate the findings into a variety of new housing designs and home modifications that may create a more responsive and supportive environment for adults with autism. The design guidelines encompass the full range of elements that comprise a home beginning with neighbourhood selection and housing type moving through outdoor environments and individual rooms and culminating in technology and materials. The guidelines reflect the ten Quality of Life Design Goals presented in Chapter 3 with specific recommendations linked to the particular goal(s) it addresses. Since autism is a spectrum condition, appropriate design solutions will vary considerably for different individuals. By connecting each design guideline with a specific goal(s), autistic adults, design professionals, housing providers and others can focus on new housing designs and modifications most relevant to an individual’s needs and aspirations.Less

This chapter discusses the development of an ‘autonomy supportive environment’ in the form of an online ‘Autonomy Resource Centre’ at Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto, Japan. Having outlined the pedagogy underlying the centre and its development, the chapter reflects on the lessons learnt from the first year of operation and concludes that the development of such an environment needs to be carefully structured and take full account of the views and needs of all stakeholders.Less

In this chapter, we focus on the developmental contexts in which Japanese educational goals, practices and policies are instantiated at Greenleaf Elementary School, including some challenges faced by children with developmental disabilities and support available for them. We begin by describing the general educational contexts in which children learn, develop, and are socialized through daily experiences at Greenleaf Elementary School. The emphasis of Japanese elementary education on positive social relationships, education for kokoro (mind and heart), and learning within collaborative peer groups can result in strong, mutually supportive bonds between educators and children within and across grade levels including those with disabilities. On the other hand, if children do not fit in groups, their experiences in school can be highly problematic. They require more intensive support individually or in small groups.Less
