dc.description.abstractAttention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that impacts individuals’ ability to focus, organize, and regulate impulses. In landscape architecture, accessible design can be applied to address ADHD, which can positively impact the urban environment and create a more inclusive space for all. The exploration of this intersection of ADHD and landscape architecture highlights both the challenges and potential strengths of individuals with ADHD. In this way, it can pinpoint the factors contributing to a practical urban space that assists children with ADHD in a neighbourhood. To understand how to design for children with ADHD, one must first understand what ADHD is and how it affects children in families and their communities. Doing so can help identify the necessity to address the symptoms of ADHD in the urban landscape. Secondly, a neighbourhood analysis is conducted to understand how to design for the neighbourhood of Elmwood in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Through the analysis of ADHD and Elmwood, a universal design can address and respond to the symptoms of ADHD in children to enhance the overall outdoor environment for all.
