RIBA YAPF- Dyslexic Thinking

Join the YAPF for a panel discussion exploring how neurodivergent thinking enhances architectural practice and the built environment.

Dyslexia, ADHD, dyspraxia, and other neurodivergent thinking styles bring unique strengths to architecture, from spatial reasoning and creative problem-solving to innovative design approaches. Yet the profession doesn't always make space for different ways of working, learning, and communicating.

This panel brings together speakers with lived experience across different career stages to share honest insights into thriving in architectural education and practice with neurodiversity.
