Neurodiversity Celebration Week. March 16 - 20

An unexpected new window. No audio alternative. Small things that quietly block neurodivergent learners every day.
Our toolkit finds these issues across Moodle courses and fixes them at scale. One fix still makes a real difference.

Neurodiversity Celebration Week. March 16 - 20

Neurodiversity Celebration Week is a good time to audit your digital content.
ALL CAPS and broken headings create real barriers for neurodivergent students, but that content also makes learning harder for everyone.

1 in 6 children has a developmental disability. Most barriers they face are about design, not disability.
Better design can change that.
