ADHD involves executive dysfunction, time blindness, and working memory barriers that standard technology often overlooks. Cognitive accessibility, unlike sensory or motor access, is still largely treated as a productivity problem rather than an access problem. This session reframes digital tools as cognitive accessibility aids, presenting inclusive design patterns, no-code workflows, and real examples of technology that support ADHD cognition instead of overwhelming it.

Users are often labeled as “difficult” when they struggle with a product or process. In reality, those users are early warning signals, exposing accessibility and usability issues before they impact a broader audience.
This session re-frames “difficult users” as critical inputs into better design and more effective systems.

Solving for the Edges challenges conventional thinking by exploring what happens when we move beyond the middle and include those often left out of research and decision-making. Through real-world examples, this session shows how edge-case solutions become everyday innovations. Open to all, it’s an invitation to think bigger, challenge assumptions, and discover that the most impactful outcomes are found beyond the average.

Accessibility isn’t a task you finish. We audit, fix, and launch but the work can quietly slip as content changes, teams evolve, and standards advance.
This session explores accessibility as a living practice across the lifecycle of open source projects, including insights from WCAG 2.2, WCAG 3, and the European Accessibility Act. Learn how to keep accessibility from fading after launch and build workflows that sustain progress.
