Why should I attend?
Many employers and service providers do not realise just how
many of the people they deal with in the workplace - both
colleagues and customers - may have Specific Processing and
Learning Differences or are 'Neuro-diverse' (ND). NDs constitute a
significant number of the population and because of the 'hidden'
nature of their differences they can in equal measure, perplex,
delight and challenge their employers and colleagues in the
workplace.
Many ND people themselves are unaware of the underlying reasons
for their behaviour, frustrations and lack of progress at
work.
This conference has a practical focus and will enable you
to:
- Understand what Neuro-diversity is.
- Appreciate the impact on individuals of conditions such as
Dyspraxia, Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder, Dyslexia
and Asperger's Syndrome.
- Understand how these conditions can manifest in the
workplace.
- Develop strategies for managing ND differences and talents
to best effect whatever the role or level of work
experience.
- Develop workplace policies and practices that accommodate
NDs at all levels of the organisation.
- Apply similar strategies to customer service training and
delivery.
- Help meet your obligations under equality legislation
including accessibility.
