A case study: Accessible Design for Learning Management Systems
summary
Cites studies suggesting 15–20% (some claim up to 40%) of New Zealanders show neurodivergent traits and applies that to LMS design: choose humanist typefaces with distinct character shapes, increase letter/word spacing and line-height, strip UI distractions (notifications, extra nav, progress frills), avoid unexpected motion that triggers vestibular symptoms, provide multiple display modes and simulated color overlays—turquoise and yellow show measurable reading gains—and documents a working resource called neurodiversity.design with practical component guidance.
