Designing with neurodiversity in mind

Our three part webinar-series promises to immerse you in the intricacies of designing for neurodiverse individuals. Gain insights into the challenges posed by sensory overload in modern spaces, and learn to weave neuro-inclusive concepts like zoning and wayfinding into your spatial design. Uncover the ways in which your creative endeavors can make a significant difference. This is your invitation to revolutionize design for a more neuro-inclusive and harmonious future.

During our webinar series, we'll tackle all your burning questions:

  • How can I balance aesthetic appeal with functional considerations when designing for neurodiverse individuals?
  • How can I address the diverse range of neurodiverse needs in a single design project?
  • How do I balance the need for sensory-friendly environments with the aesthetic and functional aspects of a space in my designs?
  • What are the neuro-inclusive considerations in wayfinding and zoning, especially regarding equity and accessibility?
