Embracing Neurodiversity in the Workplace
Monday 05 September 2022How can managers and workplaces support and embrace neurodiversity?
Managing conditions such as autism or ADHD at work should not be complicated. Neurodivergent people can bring valuable skills to any workplace, as long as the working environment plays to their strengths. Neurodiverse colleagues often have increased valuable skills such as lateral thinking, analysis, consistency and creativity.
Our speakers will share findings from research and lived experience on inclusion versus integration approaches to neurodiversity, and how a neurodiverse workforce can bring unique talents and strengths to an organisation.

In this session, our guest speakers, Sarah Wall, Lucie Wheeler and Simon Preston will consider the legislation that relates to neurodiversity, and discuss the social and medical models of disability.
