Neuroinclusive Design: Building Tech for All Brains (June '25 Recap)

Welcome, neurocurious builders and accessibility aficionados! This video is a rapid-fire overview of my June 2025 newsletters, featuring the core mindset shifts, practical tools, and sustainable routines for creating digital worlds everyone can thrive in.

What you’ll find in the video (and the newsletters):

• The Big Mindset Shift:
  Move from the old, reactive “accommodation model” (fixing people) to the “social contextual model”—where we fix environments and patterns to work for everyone, not just a “niche.” (Spoiler: 1 in 7 folks are neurodivergent, so this is mainstream design!)

• Why It Matters:
  Burnout and masking aren’t personal failures—they’re system failures. Let’s stop pointing fingers at individuals and start designing environments that fit diverse brains and bodies.

• 4 Key Principles for All-Brain Design:

  1. Multiple ways to access info (visual, auditory, text—your choice)

  2. Clear, predictable structure (goodbye mental gymnastics)

  3. Flexible engagement (no “one right way” rules)

  4. Simple, explicit language (clarity = kindness)

• Quick Accessibility Wins:
  Try my 5-minute, 5-step self-check: color contrast, browser zoom, keyboard-only navigation, image alt text, logical headings. (Yes, micro-changes > heroics!)

• Making Inclusion Sustainable:
  Accessibility isn’t a project you finish—it’s a garden you tend. Build it into your everyday workflow: quick daily scans, short weekly check-ins, and the occasional deep dive. That’s serenity, not scramble.
