“what Does a Polar Bear Supposed to Mean to Me?!” Tools for Neuroinclusive Co-Design Workshops
Neurodiversity is the natural variation in human wiring that enables us to think, feel and experience the world and ourselves in unique ways. This includes the beauty of diverse processing styles based on visual, word-based, logical, physical, aural (auditory-musical), social and solitary engagements. How might we implement inclusive practices in workshops to embrace neurodiversity? In this presentation, Dr Lutza will share practical tools for neuroinclusion, to increase accessibility and meaningful participation for diverse processing styles in co-design workshops.
