Neurodiversity in the Workplace
Co-Sponsored by the Stanford CIO Council Neurodiversity in IT Program
Neurodiversity is the range of common differences in thinking and behavior which we now understand to be normal variations in humans. This includes conditions such as autism, dyslexia, ADHD, and others. Neurodiverse variations have played a central role in the development of human society, yet neurodiverse people have been historically misunderstood and marginalized as individuals.
Join us for this free 90-minute online lunch-and-learn educational webinar to gain a better understanding of neurodiversity and its role in society and within the workplace. In this session, you will gain a basic awareness of neurodiversity, an understanding of autistic traits with workplace relevance, and tips for enabling neurodiverse colleagues to be effective in the workplace.
We will discuss how leading companies foster neurodiversity to their advantage, how increasing understanding and acceptance of neuro differences is allowing more people to enter the workplace, and what concrete steps each of us can take to better understand and support neurodiverse colleagues.
