About this Event

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.


Speakers TBC


What we'll discuss:

Reflections on navigating an architectural education and career with neurodiversity

How neurodivergent perspectives contribute to innovative design thinking

Building confidence and advocating for yourself in professional environments

Creating more inclusive practices and educational settings


Who should attend:

This event is for everyone, students, young professionals, educators, and anyone interested in building a more inclusive profession. Whether you're neurodivergent yourself, support someone who is, or simply want to understand how diversity of thought strengthens our work, all are welcome.
