Creating #SensoryGardens for #Neurodiverse Individuals: A Guide to #Inclusive #OutdoorSpaces

By Elena, Sep 23, 2025

"Imagine a #garden that doesn’t just ask to be looked at, but to be felt. A place where the rustle of leaves is a gentle song, the scent of #lavender is a calming blanket, and the texture of smooth river stones is a quiet anchor. This is the essence of a #SensoryGarden designed for #neurodiverse individuals—a space that understands that we all experience the world in beautifully different ways.

"#Neurodiversity is the idea that variations in brain function—like #autism, #ADHD, #dyslexia, and others—are natural, human variations. Not deficits. And for many neurodiverse people, sensory processing is a key part of that experience. Some folks are #hypersensitive, where a buzzing bee can feel overwhelming. Others are #hyposensitive, seeking out #IntenseSensoryInput to feel regulated. A well-designed sensory garden caters to this entire spectrum, creating a sanctuary that can reduce anxiety, improve focus, and simply provide a much-needed refuge from an #overstimulating world."

“Death To Icon Fonts” (2015)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xXBYcWgCHA

What's your opinion as a #WebDev today?

Did you find a way to address the issues presented while keeping #IconFonts?

Basically:
1. When our friends with #Dyslexia overrides your fonts, font icons turn into black boxes since the font they're using doesn't have support for those Unicode code blocks.

2. When screenreaders, or voice assistance, reads a site with icon fonts, they read the icon fonts really weird.

For No.2, a site with properly marked aria labels, or marked as hidden for assistive tech, is the solution I can think of.

However, for No.1, I can't think of a way since once the browser forces the user font, all fonts on the site will rely on the user's custom font.

The only other way I can think of is to provide an option to switch the site's font right from the website, so they don't have to override the site's font.

What's your solution?
