Neuroinclusion affects far more than policies and reasonable adjustments. It shapes how people experience our workplaces, spaces, services, communications and everyday interactions.
We bring together professional expertise, lived experience and practical examples to make complex ideas around neuroinclusion clear, relevant and applicable.
From conference keynotes and guest lectures to interactive team sessions and workshops, every session is shaped around the audience and designed to leave people seeing inclusion, and the environments they create, differently.
Looking for a speaker on neuroinclusion or inclusive design?
These talks provide a starting point rather than a fixed script.
Every organisation, sector and audience is different, so sessions can be adapted to reflect your event, priorities and the people in the room.
Topics can also be combined or developed into a bespoke session, including:
Neuroinclusive universal design
Neuroinclusive customer experiences
Inclusive spaces and sensory environments
Neuroinclusion in hospitality and visitor experiences
Neuroinclusive workplaces
Communication and cognitive accessibility
Moving beyond awareness towards practical inclusion
Lived experience and inclusive decision-making

What neuroinclusion can teach us about better spaces, services and experiences
We experience the world through our senses, attention, expectations and processing, yet many environments are designed around assumptions about how people will think, feel and behave.
This talk explores how neuroinclusive and universal design can help us create spaces and experiences that work for a much wider range of people.
Richie brings together lived experience, practical examples and professional insight to explore sensory environments, cognitive load, communication, predictability, choice and the importance of understanding an experience from the perspective of the person using it.
Particularly relevant for: architecture and interior design, hospitality, visitor attractions, venues, service design, education and customer experience.
Why accessibility starts long before somebody walks through the door
For many neurodivergent people, deciding whether to visit somewhere can involve far more than checking the opening times.
What information can they find beforehand? What will the environment feel like? Will they know what to expect? What happens if they need more time, become overwhelmed or communicate differently?
This talk looks at the customer journey through a neuroinclusive lens, from online information and booking through to arrival, navigation, sensory experience, staff interactions and beyond.
It also explores why designing more accessible experiences is not simply about meeting the needs of a particular group. Clearer, calmer and more intuitive experiences can be better experiences for everyone.
Particularly relevant for: hospitality, tourism, retail, leisure, entertainment, transport, venues, visitor attractions and customer experience teams.
Turning understanding into everyday practice
Awareness matters, but awareness alone does not make a workplace neuroinclusive.
This session explores what neuroinclusion can look like in everyday working life, including communication, recruitment, meetings, management, expectations, workplace environments and reasonable adjustments.
Rather than prescribing a single set of solutions for every neurodivergent person, Richie encourages organisations to think differently about the systems and assumptions that can create unnecessary barriers in the first place.
Practical, accessible and grounded in real workplace experience, the session helps audiences move from knowing more about neurodivergence to thinking more inclusively about how people work.
Particularly relevant for: organisations, leadership teams, HR and People teams, managers, employee networks and workplace conferences.
What neurodivergence reveals about the assumptions built into everyday life
Why do we expect people to behave in particular ways in meetings, shops, restaurants, workplaces, classrooms and public spaces?
And how many of those expectations exist because they are necessary, rather than simply because they have become normal?
This thought-provoking talk uses neurodivergence as a lens through which to examine the unwritten rules embedded in the environments, systems and experiences around us.
It invites audiences to question assumptions, notice barriers that are easily missed and consider what becomes possible when we design for human difference from the outset.
Particularly relevant for: conferences, leadership events, universities, design audiences and organisations looking for a broader conversation about inclusion and universal design.
