Our special guest this week, Becca Chambers, Neurodiversity Advocate and SVP, Brand and Communications, will Present on:
Neurodiversity in the Workplace
Did you know that approximately 15%–20% of the worldwide population is thought to be neurodivergent in some way?
That means one in five people have a condition such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, or Tourette syndrome (but not limited to these conditions). That's a LOT!
It also includes folks without these diagnoses who have difficulties with organizational skills, social perception, and social interaction. Up to half of neurodivergent people don't even know that they are neurodivergent, so the actual numbers may be much higher.
Let's talk about what that means to your work, your workplace, and your clients.
