Embodied Inclusion 360

Coming soon · Early access

What if we understood people by what helps them thrive, not simply by what they struggle with?

Embodied Inclusion 360™ is an innovative profile designed to help identify the conditions that influence how we learn, work, connect, participate, and thrive. We want you to help us build it.

Early participants will be invited to complete the profile, receive their EI 360 report, and provide feedback on their experience.

Inclusion begins with understanding.

Too often, we ask:

  • What is wrong?
  • What diagnosis does this person have?
  • Why aren't they succeeding?

Embodied Inclusion 360 asks a different question:

What conditions help this person flourish?

Because human functioning doesn't happen in isolation. Our ability to focus, learn, connect, communicate, contribute, and thrive is shaped by the interaction between who we are and the environments, relationships, experiences, and supports around us.

EI 360 is being developed to make those often-invisible influences easier to see.

A 360° view of inclusion

The Embodied Inclusion 360 Profile explores five interconnected dimensions that can influence human functioning and flourishing.

Physiological

What does your body and nervous system need to support energy, attention, capacity, and engagement?

Relational

What qualities of connection, communication, trust, and interpersonal support help you thrive?

Environmental

How do sensory and physical environments affect your ability to participate and perform at your best?

Instructional

How do you best receive, process, organize, and engage with information, expectations, and learning?

Transcendental

What sources of meaning, purpose, values, creativity, intuition, or connection to something larger help orient and sustain you?

Together, these dimensions create a richer picture of the conditions that support an individual's capacity to flourish.

Not another personality test.

EI 360 isn't designed to put you into a box. It's designed to help you better understand the conditions that help you get out of one.

The goal is not simply greater self-awareness. The goal is actionable insight that can help individuals and the people who support them create environments, relationships, and experiences in which they are more likely to thrive.

Help us build it.

Before EI 360 is released publicly, we're inviting a select group of early participants to help us test and refine it.

Your feedback won't simply evaluate the tool. It will help shape it.

Beta testers may be invited to

  • Complete the Embodied Inclusion 360 Profile
  • Receive an early version of their personalized EI 360 report
  • Tell us what resonated and what didn't
  • Evaluate the clarity and usefulness of the questions and results
  • Identify perspectives, experiences, or needs we may have overlooked
  • Help us make the final experience more inclusive, accessible, and useful

Who built this

Dr. Niki Elliott.Three decades at the intersection of neurodiversity, race, and education.

Embodied Inclusion 360 was created by Dr. Niki Elliott, a researcher, educator, and clinician focused on neurodiversity, trauma-informed practice, and culturally responsive pedagogy. She is the creator of the Embodied Inclusion 360 Framework, a holistic model integrating neuroscience, lived experience, and equity-centered design.

Her work centers historically marginalized populations, including men of color, first-generation students, and veterans. The I C.A.N. (Increasing Career Access through Neurodiversity) initiative, built on the EI 360 Framework, transforms how community colleges and vocational schools serve neurodiverse students.

Be part of what comes next.

People thrive when we stop asking them to fit environments that were never designed with them in mind and start understanding the conditions they need to flourish.

If that idea resonates with you, we'd like you at the table. Join the early-access list to receive beta testing opportunities, development updates, and first access to Embodied Inclusion 360.

Beta participation will be limited. Joining the list does not guarantee selection for every testing phase.
