This poster illustrates different learning disabilities and disorders. Learning differences manifest uniquely in every individual, so the challenge was to express them abstractly to encompass the nuances of each disorder. These solutions resulted from the input of more than forty neurodivergent people, including myself. This was part of a larger project to raise awareness and promote empathy for those with learning differences.
