Accommodations
Changes to environment, tools, timing, or expectations that remove barriers so people can participate equally. Not special treatment or lowered standards—just different paths to the same destination.
Assistive Technology (AT)
Tools, devices, software, and systems that bridge the gap between what your brain/body can do and what the world expects—from sticky notes and timers to speech-to-text and eye-tracking systems. Everyone uses AT; some of us just need more specialized versions.
Neuroaffirming
Creating spaces, practices, and attitudes that accept and support neurodivergent people as they are, rather than trying to change, fix, or hide their differences.
