How sensory-smart workplace design can move beyond open-plan offices, reducing cognitive and sensory load through clearer choices, spaces and working norms.

Most corporate training is polished, popular — and forgettable. Slides are tidy, feedback is warm, and yet behaviour at work barely shifts. Neuro-inclusive training solves the problem by designing for how people actually learn, not how we hope they learn. The best scaffold for this is Universal Design for Learning (UDL): multiple ways to engage, multiple ways to take in information, and multiple ways to show understanding (CAST, 2018). Done well, UDL reduces cognitive load, r

Why dyslexia is not a deficit but a compatibility problem between people and systems, and how better design can unlock different strengths at work.

Most workplace documents quietly test working memory. We hide decisions inside dense paragraphs, bury actions in polite sign-offs, and use formatting that fights the eye. Neuro-inclusive documentation treats text as assistive technology: it reduces cognitive load, makes intent obvious, and lets people act without decoding. The problem isn’t literacy — it’s load Cognitive load theory is blunt: when extraneous load is high (formatting noise, unclear structure), germane load (th
