Imagine opening a website and being overwhelmed by the amount of information, the vibrant colors, the moving elements, or the endless text. For many neurodivergent people, this is the typical experience on the internet.

In this talk, we’ll explore how to design and develop with different ways of processing the world in mind: autism, ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety, and more. We’ll discuss best practices, common mistakes, how to implement cognitive accessibility, and why considering neurodivergence is key to creating truly inclusive digital experiences. Because it’s not just about reaching more people, but about leaving no one behind.
