What is the session all about?
In this session, Gareth Slinn, a cognitive accessibility specialist, W3C Invited Expert, and founder of the Cognitive Accessibility Institute, share accessibility journey, from navigating colour blindness, dyslexia, traumatic brain injury, and ADHD to working in technical accessibility for over 20 years. He explores how neurodiverse foundations shape the way we design, build, and govern digital systems, including the hidden impact of cognitive load and the ADHD burnout loop. Also, looks at why cognitive accessibility isn’t just a UX concern, but an organisational one and where this work is heading through the development of the Cognitive Accessibility Institute.
