Neurodivergence is fairly common and totally natural. But there are still many unhelpful misconceptions about it, especially in the workplace. These can prevent people from valuing the diversity of thought that neurodiversity represents. And that means many teams aren’t making the most of the full potential present in their colleagues.

Our differences are strengths. When we empower everyone to contribute to their full potential at work, workplaces become healthier, safer places to be. Neurodivergence within teams leads to diversity of thought, too. This can help everyone to think outside the box. And reasonable adjustments made to support neurodivergent team members can lead to an innovative approach to workplace practices for everyone.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

• Explain how the natural neurodiversity present in your colleagues leads to greater diversity of thought
• Recognize how embracing reasonable adjustments and empowering your neurodivergent colleagues contributes towards a healthier and safer workplace culture and the development of innovative workplace practices for all
