Accessibility has come a long way in the last twenty years, but the journey is far from over. Neurodiversity, which includes the unique needs of individuals with ADHD, autism, dyslexia and other cognitive differences, is reshaping how we think about inclusive design. Digital experiences should work for everyone, but how can we ensure they meet the needs of neurodivergent users?
What we will cover
During this discussion, our panellists will explore the following:
- How designing for neurodivergent users can drive innovation and improve digital experiences for everyone.
- The common barriers that neurodivergent users face and how digital teams can address them.
- Practical steps teams can take to create more inclusive experiences through research design and development.
- The balance between universal design and personalised approaches.
This panel will be valuable for designers looking to make digital spaces more inclusive.
