Abstract

A vestibular-sensory chair for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) was designed to support sensory regulation and emotional containment. The prototype features a cocoon-like structure, textured cushions, and hypoallergenic materials. Validation was conducted by experts in inclusive education and occupational therapy, focusing on safety, ergonomics, and therapeutic potential. Methodologies such as the Critical to Quality (CTQ) Tree, House of Quality (QFD), and Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) were applied in the design and production process. The project addresses the lack of accessible therapeutic furniture in public institutions and aligns with SDG 4 on inclusive education.
