Presentation Title: Embracing Neurodiversity in the Workplace
Presentation Description:
Neurodiversity is an emerging topic that has been rapidly increasing in awareness over the last decade. However, the term "neurodiversity" or "neurodiverse" is new and intimidating to many. In this session, we'll demystify the terms "neurodiversity" and "neurodivergent" while sharing easy and applicable tools to embrace your whole organization's neurodiversity -- whether or not someone has been diagnosed with an official disability.
Learning Objectives
- How to define 'neurodiversity' and 'neurodivergent'
- How these terms show up in our employees, in the workplace, and in the world in general
- How we can create a space that is inclusive of everyone's neurodiversity
- Discuss low- to no-cost accommodations that can be implemented with no lead time
