Neurodiversity: Leveling Up Our Perspective

Join Disability:IN Minnesota and neurodiversity expert Haley Moss for its May Member Meeting: “Neurodiversity, Leveling Up Our Perspective,” a virtual conversation on the importance of incorporating neurodiversity into the workplace.

No two brains are the same. An estimated 1 in 7 people are neurodivergent, including those with autism, ADHD, mental health disabilities, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, or acquired brain differences. Given this prevalence, why are conversations around neurodiversity nonetheless so difficult, especially in the context of broader discussions about disabilities?

In this session, Haley will unpack the nuances of navigating disclosure, advocating for ourselves and others, and building accessibility into our understanding of inclusion. Come prepared for lightbulb moments, and leave feeling more empowered to tackle stigma.
