Podcast Episode 5: Neurodiversity
Why add neurodiversity in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs?
This Podcast discusses Neurodiversity as an important consideration in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs since it recognizes that people with different neurological conditions, such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning disabilities, bring unique and valuable perspectives to the classroom and workplace. Including neurodiverse individuals in DEI programs helps create a classroom or workplace culture that values each individual’s strengths and abilities with built-in support for their unique needs.
Additionally, we explore what neurodiversity looks like and the benefits of having neurodiverse individuals in your organization. Finally, discover where to start once your organization has committed to recruiting neurodiverse people. When an organization embraces neurodiversity, it demonstrates a commitment to understanding and appreciating differences, which can lead to greater collaboration, creativity, and innovation.
