Abstract

This systematic review of existing literature reinforces the need for inclusive design strategies that account for the specific requirements of individuals across the neurodivergent spectrum. It discusses the evolution of inclusive design from earlier movements focused mainly on physical accessibility and extends to embracing the complex experiences of people with different cognitive profiles. The review identifies fundamental inclusive design principles and their practical applications for neurodivergent populations, concentrating on autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and dyslexia. Its findings are analyzed comparatively, revealing consistencies, differences, and contradictions in design principles across conditions, and highlighting areas that require further examination. This investigation lays the groundwork for our focused research on co-designing inclusive mobility services with neurodivergent groups.
