Neurodivergent Adaptations
Practical strategies for inclusive healthcare environments
Provide visual aids and written definitions for healthcare terms
Break information into short sections with frequent pauses
Use concrete examples and real-life scenarios instead of abstract explanations
Offer role-play participation as optional rather than required
Allow participants to write responses instead of speaking aloud
Provide a printed checklist for healthcare steps and vocabulary
Use color coding for PCP, urgent care, and ER categories
Give extra processing time before group discussion or questions
Encourage use of phones or notes apps to organize medical information
Reduce sensory distractions during role-play or discussion activities
"Accessibility is not a luxury, it is a prerequisite for equity in healthcare."
