Practical tools for supporting neurodivergence in the higher education workplace
This session will focus on a range of practical activities to support people in improving and developing their neurodivergent awareness, and ability to build reasonable adjustments into everyday inclusive practice.
We will work on topics including:

3. Clarity in communications
4. Addressing myths and stereotypes
5. Building confidence in working across the neurotypical / neurodivergent split (the “double empathy” problem)
