Great inclusive design must include considerations for neurodiversity. One in five users may be on the neurodiverse spectrum, including conditions such as autism, ADHD, and dyslexia. Mistakes in design and content exclude users with different cognitive needs. Neurodiverse audiences often face issues with reading, understanding instructions, managing distraction, executive functioning, and more.
Learn how neurodiverse users experience cognitive challenges in elements such as workflows, complex information, task completion, and more. By designing for neurodiversity, your products and applications are more accessible and inclusive to all.
Furthermore, neurodiverse representation within design teams matters as they bring important perspectives to products and designs. Neurodiverse colleagues often have different communication and planning styles and needs. Learn more about how best to work and support them for design and team success.
