The number of individuals diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (“ASD”), ADHD, or similar differences has skyrocketed over the last two decades. So, too, have the number of neurodivergent individuals entering the workforce. Many employers have struggled with developing ways to provide reasonable accommodations for neurodivergent individuals because of the broad diversity of traits associated with these differences. This presentation is designed to help you engage in an effective interactive discussion with neurodivergent individuals so that your workplace can truly embrace the talents of this segment of employees.
Key Learning Objectives:
- What special skills and talents are often present among neurodivergent employees?
- How can you determine an employee may be neurodivergent if he or she has not disclosed a diagnosis?
- How can you conduct an effective interactive discussion with a neurodivergent employee to identify what accommodations may be helpful?
- What types of resources and accommodations are available that may assist an employee that is neurodivergent?
- How can you help educate your neurotypical employees to be more accepting of coworkers’ differences, including differences often associated with neurodivergent employees?
