Our Theoretical Framework
We see bouncy brains as multidimensional and ever-changing. Our framework rests on three core ideas: understanding how brains actually work, designing systems that adapt to cognitive diversity, and building language that centers lived experience. Together, they move us from accommodation to co-existence.
The TBB Framework
Co-Existence of Minds Through New Models, New Language, and Universal Design
Ontology of Mind
How we think about neurodivergence and cognitive variation.
- Multidimensional cognitive models
- Traits as intensity, frequency, and abundance
- Moving beyond hierarchy and pathology
Language Framework
How language shapes reality and expands what becomes possible.
- Conceptual engineering
- New words and evolving terms
- Community-up rather than top-down models
Epistemics (How We Know)
How lived experience becomes knowledge and informs change.
- Mask-switching as labor
- Hidden neurodivergent profiles
- Evidence alongside lived experience
Education Services
Redesigning learning environments so more minds can thrive.
- Universal Design for Learning
- Proactive rather than reactive accommodations
- Faculty training and course redesign
Business Services
Building systems where different ways of thinking are supported and valued.
- Workplace systems redesign
- Communication, hiring, and environmental audits
- Implementation support
Individual Services
Support grounded in lived experience, strengths, and meaningful change.
- Strengths-based clinical support and coaching
- Identity and masking navigation
- Tools for daily life and self-understanding
The TBB Framework translates ideas into practical resources, education, and systems-level change.
