OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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:
1. Accessible space and place
2. Cognitive load
3. Clarity in communications
4. Addressing myths and stereotypes
5. Building confidence in working across the neurotypical / neurodivergent split (the “double empathy” problem)
6. Identifying neurodivergent traits and building in workplace adjustments to cater for those at all stages of the awareness and diagnosis process
