Open to everyone? Why inclusion often falls foul of invisible barriers.

Public institutions are increasingly investing in accessibility. Nevertheless, many neurodivergent people – for example, those on the autism spectrum, with ADHD or sensory processing differences – continue to face barriers to participation. These barriers are often invisible: sensory overload, a lack of orientation, unpredictable routines or the absence of quiet spaces can lead people to cut short a visit or decide against it altogether beforehand.

This talk explores neuroinclusion from a practical perspective and demonstrates why genuine participation does not begin at the front door. It demonstrates how orientation, respite and spaces to retreat can be provided in places such as museums, educational or leisure facilities.

The aim is to provide food for thought and practical approaches that can make public spaces accessible and enjoyable for more people.
