About the session

A practical beginner's guide to working with neurodiverse teams. It will be divided into three sections. The first two, 'foundational knowledge' and the 'importance of embracing neurodiversity' will be kept as brief as possible, but they are key to getting everyone to a base level of understanding.

The largest portion of the session will focus on how to build a more inclusive space so your neurodiverse colleagues can flourish. The content was designed to be immediately applicable, enabling you to start making a positive difference in your teams right away.

Hopefully armed with this knowledge, you will be inspired to have productive conversations and make meaningful changes to create a more inclusive and productive work environment for all neurotypes.

Participant takeaways:

  • How to encourage your teams to understand differing communication styles
  • How to support people who may find the format required for common business processes particularly challenging
  • How to work with head office functions like HR to make more adaptable processes the norm.

Themes:

Inclusivity, Teamwork, Diversity, Neurodiversity, Respect
