(self-directed capstone)
ditto, is an educational card activity designed to introduce design students to the principles of neuro-inclusive design through collaborative discussion. Inspired by my own experiences as a neurodivergent designer, the project encourages student designers to learn and reflect on real-world scenarios involving neurodivergent traits, constraints, and inclusive design actions. The goal is to foster empathy, expand awareness of cognitive diversity, and empower students to recognize how design can either support or exclude different minds.
