ABSTRACT

This study focuses on the design value and application of theme parks for autistic children from the perspective of social aesthetic education. Through literature review, field investigation and case analysis, this paper summarizes the behavioral characteristics and psychological needs of autistic children. At the same time, combined with the specific requirements of Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, this paper discusses the current situation, problems and design principles of theme parks for autistic children. It is proposed that design should integrate education, aesthetics, functionality, experience, inclusiveness and openness. This paper discusses the design value and application strategy of emotion, society, aesthetics and identity, summarizes the relevant data through specific analysis of practical cases, verifies the feasibility and effectiveness of the design concept, and proves the positive role of these strategies in improving the quality of life and social integration ability of autistic children. It provides theoretical support and practical reference for the design of autistic children's theme parks, which is conducive to jointly promoting the development and progress of autistic children's theme park design, and finally realizing the win-win situation of material wealth and spiritual wealth.
