Designing for Diversity: How Neurodivergence Shapes the User Experience | Upcoming Webinar

What does your website or app actually feel like to someone who processes information differently?

Most accessibility conversations start and end with a WCAG checklist. That’s a useful baseline, but it doesn’t tell you much about what it’s actually like to use your product if you’re neurodivergent. Traits like difficulty filtering visual noise, trouble parsing complex navigation, or a lower threshold for cognitive overload shape digital interaction in ways a compliance audit won’t catch.

This webinar sets the checklist aside and unpacks the core traits of neurodivergence itself, then connects those traits directly to design decisions your team is already making.

Join us on Thursday, August 13, 2026 at 2 PM ET as Hope Alwine – Digital Accessibility Specialist, and Ben Turner – Accessibility Services Team Manager, break down how visual clutter, complex navigation, and cognitive overload affect neurodivergent users, and what that means for building digital products that are naturally accessible from the inside out.

What we’ll cover

• Neurodivergent conditions each interact with digital interfaces in different ways. We’ll unpack the core traits that matter most for design.
• Visual clutter and inconsistent layouts can overwhelm users before they even start a task. We’ll look at how simplifying visual structure reduces that load.
• Complex navigation paths create friction that disproportionately affects neurodivergent users. We’ll cover practical ways to streamline wayfinding.
• Cognitive overload often hides in dense text, competing calls to action, or unclear hierarchy. We’ll show you how to spot it and design around it.

Stick around after for a live Q&A. Bring your accessibility questions.
