Overview
Neurodivergent people don't simply learn differently. They often experience workshops, meetings and learning environments very differently.
Most facilitators understand physical accessibility. Fewer recognise the hidden barriers built into how information is presented, how activities are structured, or how participation is expected to look. The result: capable participants become overwhelmed, disengaged, or exhausted. Not because they lack ability. Because the room wasn't built for cognitive diversity.
This practical workshop introduces the principles of neuroinclusive learning design and facilitation. You'll explore how neurodivergence shapes attention, communication, processing, sensory experience and participation, then leave with practical strategies that make your workshops more accessible, and more engaging, for everyone.
