Accessibility at Feeling Visible

Feeling Visible is built with accessibility at its heart.

Every guide, page, and visual is shaped to feel calm, clear, and easy to use — supporting children, families, educators, and ND adults with layouts that reduce overwhelm and increase understanding.
 

We design with sensory needs, cognitive accessibility, and emotional safety in mind, creating a space where information feels predictable, gentle, and genuinely supportive.

Our Commitment

Feeling Visible is designed to be accessible, emotionally safe, and easy to use for as many people as possible.


We create every guide, page, and tool with neurodivergent users in mind — including children, adults, families, and educators.

​

Our goal is to reduce overwhelm, increase clarity, and make support feel calm and predictable.

​How We Design for Accessibility

We use:

  • low‑stim, neutral colour palettes

  • simple, recognisable icons

  • plain, gentle language

  • uncluttered layouts

  • mobile‑friendly structure

  • predictable navigation

  • consistent spacing and visual rhythm

 

Every element is shaped by lived experience of sensory needs, emotional regulation, and cognitive accessibility.

  • high‑contrast text where needed

  • clear hierarchy and headings

  • generous spacing

  • minimal decorative elements

  • alt‑text for all meaningful images

  • WCAG‑aligned colour choices


We avoid flashing, rapid movement, or busy patterns.

  • offer step‑by‑step clarity

  • use predictable layouts

  • provide calm, steady visual anchors
