Designing for All Minds: Embracing Neurodiversity in Product Experiences - by Pratik Joglekar

Описание: 🧠 In a world where digital products are more common everyday, inclusive design is not just an extra – it is needed.
​This talk will show how neurodiversity can lead to more humane, accessible, and better product experiences. Neurodiversity includes differences in the brain, such as autism, ADHD, and dyslexia.

​Digital products are often made for the "average user" and ignore the different ways people understand, process, and use technology.

​We will use our own examples and research to show how understanding neurodiverse users can improve design. We will cover managing cognitive load, offering flexible ways to interact, and creating environments that reduce anxiety and promote independence.

​Whether you are a designer, researcher, or product leader, this session can challenge your ideas, build empathy, and give you useful strategies for designing for all minds.

​Takeaways
​- Learn about neurodiversity — and why it's important in product design.

​- Recognize exclusionary patterns common in digital experiences.

​- Learn design principles that work for people with different ways of thinking and learning.

​- Leave with tools and examples to use inclusive practices in your work.
