Part 1: Beyond Accommodations
Description
Every brain is different, and this diversity can be a valuable asset in the workplace. Neurodiversity refers to the range of neurological differences that exist among people, including autism, ADHD, and Tourette syndrome. These differences can lead to unique strengths and perspectives that can benefit teams and organizations. When organizations embrace neurodiversity, they can create more inclusive and innovative workplaces. This presentation of “Beyond Accommodations” is designed for employers and focuses on autism in the workplace.
After this 90-minute presentation, you will be able to:
