Accommodation Conversations @ 2pm EST

$79

Live on Zoom – April 23rd from 2-4pm EST

Interns arriving with IEPs. Team members requesting accommodations. To ask or not to ask about diagnosis & disclosure. Navigating a conversation with an employee who chooses to share. How to create a culture where people feel comfortable to share & ask for accommodations in the first place. When did this even become such a big thing?!

Many leaders are unfamiliar with how to conduct conversations with team members around accommodations – and with how to act on that information once they get it.

Recognizing accommodations in the workplace is essential for fostering inclusivity, supporting diverse abilities, and empowering all employees. By acknowledging and implementing accommodations, leaders can increase productivity, reduce barriers, and create a psychologically safe environment that values individual strengths and needs.

Participants will leave this session with:

  • An understanding of what neurodiversity is & why accommodations matter
  • An understanding of the diagnostic process & disclosure – and the barriers to each
  • Intuitive vs. designed accommodations
  • Strategies to support workers from the hiring & interview process, dur9ing interviewing & onboarding, and throughout their tenure with the organization
