This workshop will be of benefit to those who work with neurodivergent clients, those who themselves have neurodivergent needs as well as for those who work with colleagues with neurodivergent needs.
The workshop will explore how neurodivergence might ‘show-up’ in the workplace and what the positives and challenges of this might be. We will touch on the principles of universal design, how to put reasonable adjustments in place and how to encourage the adoption of appropriate strategies.
