ABSTRACT
This study examines the principles of universal design and neurodiversity theory as they interact during the onboarding processes of Student Disability Services departments. Finding fundamental conflicts between these two schools of thought, particularly in terms of self-identification and disability negotiation, I advance a novel framework of neuro-positionality in user-centered design.

User-Sensitive Inclusive Design
Special Issue: Innovations in user sensitive design, research and developmentAlthough “User-Centred”, “Participatory”, and other similar design approaches have proved to be very valuable for mainstream design, their principles are more difficult to apply successfully when the user group contains, or is composed of, older and/or ...
A study of the role of user-centered design methods in design team projects
User-centered approaches to design can guide teams toward an understanding of users and aid teams in better posing design problems. This paper investigates the role of user-centered design approaches in design process and outcome within the context of ...
