With a foreword by esteemed neuropsychologist, David Rose, a pioneer in Universal Design for Learning, and insights from neurodiversity experts and actionable strategies for EdTech professionals, the white paper advocates for a paradigm shift in the design process, placing inclusion at its core from conception to execution, while also serving as a guide for integrating inclusive design principles into EdTech. It emphasizes the importance of understanding and embracing neurodiversity – the natural differences in how people process and experience the world – to foster learning environments where every student can thrive

"Technology holds immense potential to make learning accessible and engaging for all students," said Louisa Rosenheck. "Our new paper is a testament to Kahoot!'s commitment to leading the charge in understanding and implementing inclusive learning design practices that benefit every learner, regardless of their neurotype."
The white paper outlines key methods, including co-design, empathy interviews, and rapid prototyping, to help EdTech creators and educators understand and apply inclusive design principles.
Highlighting the Kahoot! team's pioneering efforts in inclusive design, the report shares insights from their participation in the LEGO Foundation's Play for All Accelerator, which informed the development of Kahoot's new Sparks solution, a teaching tool designed to build future-ready skills – such as creative confidence, divergent thinking, and evaluation – with inclusivity in mind.
Through compelling case studies and examples, the report illustrates how inclusive design practices can improve any EdTech solution by providing educational experiences that are more flexible, customizable, and meaningful for all students.
