HOK began exploring the topic of neuroinclusive design in 2017. Since then, we've learned a lot—enough to fill an entire book. Yet our work isn't finished.

In this year's HOK Forward, we're sharing lessons from Kay Sargent's groundbreaking new work, Designing Neuroinclusive Workplaces (Wiley 2025) and the related ideas and research we continue to explore.

In the following video, HOK's Tom Polucci and Kay Sargent preview what you'll find in this year's HOK Forward, beginning with the business case for neuroinclusive design and continuing with testimonials and case studies showing how it is benefitting people and organizations.

Thanks for coming, and thanks for watching!
