With one in five people estimated to be neurodivergent, it’s highly likely you will be leading neurodivergent thinkers. Research shows that neuroinclusive practices aren’t just ethical, they’re highly strategic.

So, how can you champion neurodiversity in your teams and become more inclusive as a leader, where everyone benefits from leveraging the unique talents of neurodivergence?

Although awareness of neurodiversity is growing, it is rarely fully understood. This workshop will outline what dyslexia and ADHD actually look like, how to recognise some of the unique strengths and challenges, as well as dispel some common misperceptions. Learn about the key differences in cognitive processing and behaviour, how to apply this knowledge, and take away some practical steps to resource you as a leader in understanding and supporting your neurodivergent colleagues more effectively.

This session will help you:

• identify the key cognitive, behavioural and emotional differences found in ADHD and dyslexia
• recognise the unique strengths and challenges associated with ADHD and dyslexia
• identify how all of this shows up in day-to-day work and communication
• recognise how to apply evidence-based strategies to better support, engage and empower neurodivergent thinkers

Whether you’re a leader, line manager, colleague, advocate, or have lived experience yourself, this will be a space to deepen your understanding, ask questions, challenge stereotypes and learn practical strategies to celebrate and support the strengths and barriers of different kinds of thinkers.
