SUMMARY:Neurodiversity: We Don't All Fit into One Box!
DESCRIPTION:Too often we define someone by a descriptive label that puts them into a neat little box that serves only to reinforce stereotypes. We are all unique individuals. Our brains are as unique as our fingerprints. \nThere is a evolutionary reason why 1 in 5 of humankind think differently; –  ADHD\, Autism\, Dyspraxia\, Dyscalculia\, Dyslexia\, dysgraphia…. Diversity of mind is a scientific reality and the universal design. What we need is a diversity of mindset\, open to and embracing the phenomenal diversity of human neurocognitive potential. We don’t all fit into one box. \nJoin us for an exciting panel on discussion on Neurological Differences as we explore the following: \n\n\nDefining and understanding co-occurring differences \n\n\nThe importance of an intersectional approach to neurodiversity \n\n\nThe benefits and challenges of having individual diagnosis \n\n\nPositive examples of support and insight to help individuals identify their neurodivergent traits. \n\n\nThis is a free online event via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Neurodivergence isn't a Mental Health Problem
DESCRIPTION:For too many years\, neurodivergence has gone hand in hand with ideas of deficit and disadvantage\, particularly when it comes to mental health.

SUMMARY:Support Systems: Integrating Job Coaches and Supported Employment Into Talent Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Supported Employment is a systematic process of achieving competitive\, integrated employment outcomes for individuals with significant disabilities through long-term supports – often including the engagement of a job coach. While more than half (51%) of the 485 companies that completed the 2023 Disability Equality Index indicated that they have employees with significant disabilities who use Supported Employment\, the concept remains widely misunderstood and under-utilized in talent strategies. This webinar will more fully define Supported Employment and job coaching while also spotlighting companies that have made Supported Employment a successful component of their talent acquisition and development strategies.

SUMMARY:7 Must-Have Skills Remote Workers Need
DESCRIPTION:According to a recent FlexJobs survey\, a whopping 65% of respondents say they want to work from home full-time\, and 31% would like a hybrid work schedule. \nThe good news is that opportunities for remote job seekers continue to grow in many industries\, including virtual administration\, healthcare\, education\, customer support\, marketing\, and more. \nHowever\, despite the growing preference for remote work\, some would-be remote workers aren’t prepared for the handful of challenges that working from a home office can bring. Along with having the specific skills and experience to do the job duties\, workers also need to have a variety of other skills to be successful remote employees. \nLuckily\, many of these soft skills and talents can be learned or honed! \nThis webinar provides an overview of the top 7 skills needed to be a great remote worker—some you may already have\, and others that can be learned or honed.

SUMMARY:Good Practice for Neurodiversity Professionals
DESCRIPTION:Neurodiversity Professionals – including physicians\, psychologists\, educators\, specialist teachers and coaches have an important role to play in empowering neurodivergent colleagues once recognised\, with or without a formal diagnosis. \n\nBut when it comes to professionals\, many of us have been trained to think about neurological differences using a deficit model. Such a model\, which can often focus almost exclusively on a person’s impairments and challenges\, can lead us to see that person as the challenge\, rather than a more balanced view that includes the environment around them. \n\nAs practitioners work hard to increase representation for many aspects of diversity\, this should also be true of diverse minds! \n\nPlease join us for an exciting panel discussion where we will cover: \n\n\n\nRecognising the social context of neurodiversity and how it is helpful \n\n\nUnderstanding the strengths\, challenges\, and pathways for neurodivergent colleagues \n\n\nThe importance of not separating the person from the label \n\n\nHow to provide high-quality services to individuals \n\n\nThoughtful and inclusive environmental design \n\n\nThis is a free online event via Zoom.
