Topic: The Science of Comprehension: Designing Communication for Diverse Project Teams.
What does cognitive science have to do with how projects are executed? Quite a lot, actually. In this session, a school-based speech pathologist brings a Universal Design lens from education into the project world. Grounded language processing & cognitive load research, the session explores how communication design influences clarity and execution. Using school-based examples translated to project contexts, it shares practical strategies to support effective communication in diverse teams.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify factors that increase cognitive load in project teams and stakeholder interactions.
- Apply practical communication design strategies to reduce ambiguity and memory load.
- Adapt communication approaches to better support diverse and neurodiverse teams.
