E4.11: The Sensory-Sensitive Researcher Mom: How Data Collection at Home Helped Me Get Curious About Staff Needs
What do morning routines, sensory input, and organizational well-being have in common? In this episode of CET-Talks, Dr. Kimberly Douglass, founder of Douglass Consulting Group and a champion of neuroinclusive learning environments, shares how her data infrastructure experiences in user-experience testing reimagined her personal approaches to fostering neurodivergence support at home. Joined by hosts Randy Bowman and Meghan Conan, Dr. Douglass unpacks the concept of "user-experience testing" in professional spaces—inviting leaders and educators to become more curious about how sensory environments shape productivity, well-being, and engagement. From subtle lighting adjustments to meaningful policy shifts, this episode explores how honoring data, lived experience, and environmental cues can transform the learning ecosystem from the inside out.
