Our latest infographic for 2026 explores neuroinclusion through a needs-led, person-centred lens.
The core message: neuroinclusion is most effective when we move beyond diagnostic labels and focus on what individuals actually need to thrive in their environment.
Key principles of person-centred neuroinclusion
- Needs over labels — Support should be based on what a person needs, not what condition they have been diagnosed with.
- Individual variation — Two people with the same diagnosis may have completely different needs and strengths.
- Strengths-based approaches — Focusing on what people can do and what conditions help them flourish.
- Universal design — Creating environments and processes that work for everyone, reducing the need for individual adjustments.
- Co-production — Involving neurodivergent individuals in designing the support and processes that affect them.
Neuroinclusion is not a one-off initiative. It requires ongoing commitment, regular review, and a culture that values difference as a source of strength.
