Based on these insights, they developed the guideline and also created the world\u2019s first <strong>autism-friendly tile collection, \u201cNeuroTiles.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The research found that children feel more comfortable with <strong>soft, calming colors, matte textures, simple shapes and consistent patterns<\/strong>. These elements help improve their focus, reduce restlessness and support better emotional control. The study involved doctors, psychologists, teachers and designers, along with experts from Kalyani Inclusive School, the National Institute of Neurosciences &amp; Hospital and Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DBL Ceramics wants everyone to be part of this initiative. That\u2019s why the guideline has been made <strong>open-source<\/strong>, so anyone can use it to create autism-friendly environments. It is available for free download at: <a href=\"https:\/\/neurotiles.dblceramics.com\/\">https:\/\/neurotiles.dblceramics.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DBL Ceramics believes that the right colors and patterns can sometimes change an entire world for a child with autism.
