Neurodiversity refers to the different ways the brain can work and interpret information. It is estimated that between 15% and 20% of the population of the UK is neurodiverse, a term which describes a range of conditions including difficulties with attention, memory and impulse control as well as longer-term conditions like Autism, ADHD and dyslexia.
As awareness of neurodiversity grows, it is important for workplaces to look at how they can support neurodiverse individuals to thrive. This webinar will include practical support and guidance for employers and colleagues. We will explore:
- What we mean by neurodiversity and why neurodiversity matters
- How to support colleagues in getting a diagnosis
- How to make reasonable, practical adjustments to accommodate their needs
- The additional support you can provide to individuals and managers to truly nurture and enable neurodiverse talent in your workplace
