Building Better Web Content for Neurodiverse Students - A Conversation with Beth Noël

Your website might be compliant. But is it neuroaccessible? If it’s not, you’re losing students before they even apply.

In this episode of the Education Marketing Leader podcast, I talk with Beth Jendro Noël, Director of Communications and Creative Services at Middlesex Community College.

She breaks down what most higher ed marketers are missing when it comes to accessibility, and how to fix it.

We cover:

✅ What “neuroaccessible” really means

✅ A practical audit you can use right now

✅ Why 33% of students are affected—but only 8% disclose

✅ How inclusive design helps retention, not just recruitment

✅ How her team built a better website using next steps, plain language, and video

Beth also shares a powerful personal story about supporting her neurodivergent child through the college application process and realizing her own institution’s site wasn’t built for them either.
