Abstract: This article provides readers with a review of the major considerations for designing living environments for persons with neurodisability due to acquired brain injury (ABI). Components that need to be considered in order to assure that the environment is designed with a functional perspective in mind are explored. The issues to be considered herein include the influences of cognition and visual and visuoperceptual, motor, behavioral, and sensory impairment on residential design considerations. Resources for individuals involved in residential design for this special population are also provided to facilitate design decisions and implementation.
