Neuroinclusive Content Design
summary
Practical checklist for neuroinclusive content: reduce complexity with short sentences, headings and one thought per paragraph (aim reading age 9–15), prefer sentence case over title case, and use clear actionable link text. Test reading load with Hemingway.com and audit pages for long PDFs—convert PDFs to HTML where possible. Don’t autoplay videos, provide captions/transcripts and alt text, write error messages that explain the problem and how to fix it, and remember roughly 15–20% of the US population is neurodivergent so test with diverse users.
