There have been a lot of discussions in the UX research field about diversity and inclusion. How do we convince organisations to invest in accessibility? How do we change our UX research processes and recruitment practices?
But how inclusive is our field for UX professionals?
Penninah Jones talks about the need to update industry standards for implementing UX research methods to make our field more accessible to neurodivergent professionals. Because disorders like ADHD and Autism are underdiagnosed, accommodations need to be available for all members of a team. Diversity and inclusion can only be achieved if we fundamentally change the way we work to accommodate everyone interested in the UX field.
How can UX research methods and standards be harmful to neurodivergent professionals, and what can we do about it? Catch the unique opportunity to check out Penninah’s talk from our UX research conference in 2022. And… part 2 at UXinsight Festival 2023!
