Neurodiversity is reshaping inclusive technology - and this is the year it becomes business‑critical. At AbilityNet's TechShare Pro, one message came through loud and clear: neurodiversity is not a niche topic - it’s a core part of designing inclusive digital experiences. Sessions across the event highlighted how cognitive accessibility, clarity, and user control affect everyone, not only neurodivergent users. Here’s what’s changing: - Neurodiversity must be considered across the entire customer journey, not added as an afterthought. - Inclusive user research leads to better outcomes for all users, helping teams design with real‑world cognitive load in mind. - Simpler, calmer and more flexible interfaces are becoming a competitive advantage, not just ‘good practice’. - Organisations are actively seeking design insights and practical guidance on supporting neurodivergent users - a key theme shaping TechShare Pro’s future programme planning. If you’re planning your digital roadmap, now is the perfect time to embed neurodiversity into your research, design, content, and testing practices.
