New in 2020: Working with neurodiversity in mind: What can we learn from lock-down?
In a sentence:
In this training session, Chloe helps you recognise what can be learnt from the lock-down to help you create a strong neurodiverse workplace.
Overview:
In this webinar, Dr Chloe Farahar, an Autistic academic, helps you recognise what can be learnt from the lockdown to help you create a strong neurodiverse workplace. While providing an understanding of what neurodiversity is, and the common types of neurodivergent employees you will work with, this webinar offers practical examples and potential solutions to some common challenges and strengths neurodivergent employees experience. This will help you work with neurodiversity in mind so that you, your workplace, and importantly your employees and colleagues, benefit and thrive from the diversity of human minds.
