Designing Meetings for Neurodivergent Brains

by | Productivity

neurodivergent brains

When meetings are designed for neurotypical brains, they leave others behind, especially those with ADHD, autism, or sensory processing differences. This episode breaks down what inclusive, health-powered meetings look like for neurodivergent brains, with practical tips that benefit everyone.

Takeaways:

  • Visual overload hurts focus, especially with self-view turned on
  • Fidgeting and movement aren’t distractions — they’re tools
  • Processing time matters — avoid cold calls for input
  • Sensory issues? Prioritize clear audio and captions
  • Clarity is king — no more mystery meetings
  • Spectators don’t belong in meetings — only players
  • Zoom chat divides attention — minimize it to stay focused
