NeuroPlaces Expands into Accessible
and Inclusive Design
As NeuroPlaces develops, it is clear that neuroinclusive design does not exist in isolation. It is about accommodating the full human spectrum—how people think, move, and experience the world.
This overlaps with broader inclusion and accessibility, where physical, sensory, and cognitive needs are interconnected.

Expanding NeuroPlaces into broader accessibility and inclusive design markets enables us to offer a comprehensive ecosystem of solutions, from sensory and cognitive design to physical accessibility and spatial access.
This expansion provides a connected platform for architects, designers, specifiers, and operators to access integrated approaches. It also offers exhibitors and partners new audiences, enhanced cross-sector collaboration, and a stronger connection between inclusive design and large-scale implementation.
Why Does This Make Commercial Sense?
The market is already connected in practice:
Workplaces and public spaces are designed and delivered through overlapping needs – neuroinclusive, accessible, and inclusive design are rarely separate in real projects.
Buyers are not sourcing in silos:
Architects, developers, and operators are looking for integrated solutions that address cognitive, sensory, and physical needs together.
There is a clear commercial opportunity:
Inclusive environments improve engagement, staff retention, visitor experience, and unlock access to the UK’s £274bn Purple Pound.
Demand is expanding beyond compliance:
Organisations are moving from meeting minimum accessibility standards to improving overall experience, usability, and performance.
The supply chain is fragmented:
Solutions exist, but they are spread across disconnected sectors with no central B2B platform bringing them together.
Procurement is becoming more design-led:
Inclusion is increasingly embedded at specification stage, creating demand for joined-up, cross-disciplinary solutions.
This creates a stronger opportunity for exhibitors
A unified platform allows solution providers to reach multiple decision-makers across accessibility, neuroinclusion, and the wider built environment in one place.

She also teaches architectural design, develops neurodiversity design guidance used internationally, and brings together lived experience with academic research to inform neuro-inclusive practice.

That alignment is exactly what NeuroPlaces is here to support.
