Designing for Neurodiversity

This session explores how to design digital products that genuinely work for neurodivergent users, including people with dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, and autism. As a Neurodiversity Ambassador and Senior Product Designer living with dyslexia and ADD, I bring both lived experience and hands-on design practice to this talk.

With 15–20% of the world's population neurodivergent, inclusive design isn't a niche concern, it's essential. In this talk, we will learn practical, actionable techniques to reduce cognitive load and sensory friction in digital interfaces.

Key takeaways:

  • Core definitions: neurodiversity, neurodivergence, and common conditions.

  • Concrete do's and don'ts for dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, and autism.

  • How to embed neurodiversity into research, design, and testing.

  • Why these changes improve usability for all users.


Audience: Product designers, researchers, and PMs
