Barriers to care for neurodivergent patients often show up long before (and after) the appointment itself — from intake forms and scheduling to waiting rooms and follow-up care.
Let’s discuss where barriers show up most in your care journey and how you’re addressing them:
- Intake forms or information requests that may feel overwhelming
- Scheduling challenges or rigid appointment structures
- Long wait times, unclear expectations, or rushed visits
- Follow-up instructions that aren’t accessible or easy to process
Consider sharing:
- A workflow change that reduced friction or anxiety
- Ways you offer flexibility or accommodations
- Tools or checklists that help staff proactively identify needs
- Lessons learned from patient or caregiver feedback (de-identified)
🔐 Reminder: Please keep all examples de-identified and avoid sharing any PHI.
Your insights could help another team take a meaningful step toward more inclusive, neurodiversity-informed care.
