The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is working with schools to make the space in the classrooms easier for children with autism and other disabilities to navigate. B. Lynn Hutchings is a research architect who helps schools adapt so that children can mainstream. Many of the changes are simple, for example, painting certain hallways different colors so that students do not get confused, or along with posting signs, also using picture symbols. Hutchins explains that children with disabilities should be spread among the school, not separated into distinct groups. Larger classrooms can be converted to small apartments to teach living skills to children who need that kind of education. Hutchins says, "Not surprisingly, we found that most of our design recommendations developed for students with disabilities work better for all students, and allow teachers to work with students in settings that better meet everyone's needs."
