Neurodiversity in the Workplace

LSA Faculty & Staff Disability Navigators
Thursday, November 14, 2024
10:00 AM-12:00 PM
Off Campus Location
Neurodiversity is the new hot topic in the realm of disability inclusion and accessibility—and with good reason. A significant percentage of people are now recognized as having neurotypes that are not well supported by societal norms and our collective understanding of how to communicate across and support neurodiversity is still developing. Fortunately researchers, educators, and advocates who identify as neurodivergent are contributing to a growing body of best practices.

Join the LSA Faculty & Staff Disability Navigators for this two-part workshop to learn about neurodiversity and how we can all start creating more neuroinclusive workplaces.

Participants will:
1. Understand what neurodiversity is and how the concept has evolved over time.
2. Reflect on the ways neurodiversity shapes our experiences, behaviors, aptitudes, and understanding of the world.
3. Gain insight into how contemporary work norms can exclude and create barriers for a range of neurotypes.
4. Explore neuroinclusive practices we can proactively integrate into our workplaces.
5. Become familiar with relevant resources for LSA employees.

Audience: This is a beginner-level workshop open to any LSA employee, including our student employees. LSA employees receive priority access, so while external guests are welcome to register they may be waitlisted and allocated spots as space allows.

Important note: Please do your best to register for and attend both parts 1 and 2 as the content builds on itself. This workshop will not be recorded.
