Abstract

The literature presents consistent results concerning the positive effect of restorative environments on the recovery of psychophysiological stress and attention fatigue. However, there is a need for studies addressing specific population groups. This study developed a systematic review to identify the main findings about the effect of restorative environments in people with disabilities. The scarcity of publications was verified, as well as the lack of research in developing countries. Some studies showed the occurrence of restoration in people with disabilities. We suggest the development of experimental research taking into account other senses, such as hearing and touch.
