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 in this 2-part workshop series to learn about neurodiversity and how we can all start creating more neuroinclusive workplaces. Attendees will need to register for and attend both Part 1 and Part 2 to gain a comprehensive understanding of this topic.

In Part 2, participants will:
- Learn about communication best practices between neurotypes.
- Explore practical examples of how to foster neuroinclusive workplaces, including workspace design, meeting facilitation, and supervision strategies.
- Exchange advice with fellow participants and generate a plan to start applying neuroinclusive practices right away.
- Obtain a reference guide to implementing best practices in your workplace.
