About This Skill
What it does
This skill leverages expertise in neuroscience, UX design principles, and lived experience to generate design solutions specifically tailored for individuals with ADHD. It focuses on creating digital experiences that address common challenges like working memory limitations, time blindness, task initiation difficulties, and rejection sensitivity. The goal is to optimize focus, organization, and accessibility by designing interfaces that work with executive dysfunction rather than against it.
When to use it
Here are some scenarios where this skill would be beneficial:
- Designing apps or websites specifically for ADHD users.
- Reducing cognitive load in existing user interfaces.
- Developing solutions for time blindness, such as visual countdowns and progress bars.
- Implementing dopamine-driven engagement patterns to motivate task completion.
- Crafting compassionate and non-shaming UX copy.
- Designing gamification elements that are respectful of ADHD challenges.
Key capabilities
- Generates design solutions addressing specific ADHD challenges (working memory, time blindness, etc.).
- Provides quick reference for common ADHD challenges and corresponding design solutions.
- Offers guidance on reducing cognitive load through patterns like wizard flows and progressive disclosure.
- Focuses on making time concrete with visual timers and progress indicators.
- Emphasizes compassionate UX copy and avoids shaming language.
Example prompts
Here are a few examples of how you might use this skill:
- "I'm designing an onboarding flow for my app, can you suggest ways to reduce cognitive load?"
- "How can I visually represent the time remaining on a task in a way that’s helpful for someone with ADHD?"
- "Give me some examples of compassionate UX copy for a form field."
Tips & gotchas
- This skill is specifically designed for designing experiences for individuals with ADHD, and is not intended to replace general WCAG accessibility guidelines or standard neurotypical UX design.
- Focus on the specific challenges outlined in the "ADHD Neuroscience Quick Reference" table when prompting the skill for best results.
- The skill emphasizes reducing cognitive load ruthlessly; be prepared to simplify designs significantly.
