Speaking

I speak at conferences, events, and organisations on accessibility, inclusive design, and ADHD-friendly technology.

My talks combine lived experience, practical frameworks, and real-world examples.

ADHD Accommodations & Technology

How to configure everyday technology as genuine accommodations, not productivity hacks.

Speaker bio

For event listings and programs

Eleanor Beilby is a Learning Technology Coordinator at Curtin University in Perth, Australia. Her work focuses on cognitive accessibility and ADHD, exploring how everyday technology can be configured as practical accommodations for neurodivergent adults.

She is the founder of MuddleMend (opens in new tab), which offers practical tech accommodations for ADHD: phone, smart-home, and digital supports built around the technology people already own. Drawing on a background in learning technology and digital product design, she introduces a structured, systems-based approach to configuring everyday technology as accommodations that reduce cognitive load and support executive function.

Her talks combine lived neurodivergent experience with practical frameworks, showing how everyday technology can be configured to reduce cognitive load and support everyday functioning.
