Helen Edgar (Autistic Realms) and Ryan Boren (Stimpunks) are advocating for radically inclusive Cavendish learning environments that prioritise flexibility, movement, and embodied experiences over traditional classroom settings, which they argue can be restrictive and harmful. Inspired by Thornburg's concept of alternative learning spaces, they promote person-led, sensory-safe spaces that are responsive to individual needs, particularly for those with profound and multiple learning disabilities, where the environment adapts to each person's preferences.
