Neurodiversity
Neurodiversity is a concept that describes all of us, as each of us has a different brain and a unique personality. We also differ in our needs and preferences, which affect how we function within society. Although certain social norms (such as ways of communicating or forming relationships) may seem obvious to most people, they can present significant barriers for 15-20% of individuals, both professionally and beyond. At the same time, these individuals (referred to as neurodivergent) often bring immense value to organizations through their unconventional problem-solving perspectives, creativity, or meticulous attention to detail.
What main topics do we cover?
Neurodiversity training can cover a range of topics related to neurological differences and their impact on individual functioning. Examples of issues that can be discussed during such training:
- Neurological differences: Understand the diversity in brain and nervous system functioning, including differences in sensory processing, perception, or the way we learn;
- Discuss autism, ADHD, dyslexia and how they affect an individual’s behavior and daily functioning;
- Adaptations of the work environment: techniques for adapting the work environment to the needs of people with various neurological differences, such as sensory, organizational or communication adaptations;
- Communication and Collaboration: Understand the differences in communication and working styles of people with neurological differences, and learn effective communication and collaboration strategies in teams made up of people with different needs and abilities;
- Eliminating stigma: Educate about myths and stereotypes associated with neurological differences, and promote respect, tolerance and empathy toward people with neurological diversity.
