APA-5
presented by the American Psychological Association

The American Psychological Association, (APA), is hosting a webinar about how to support neurodiverse employees in the workplace. While neurodivergent employees can create tremendous value within organizations, their potential can sometimes be missed due to a lack of workplace support. Learn how organizations can create an environment where neurodivergent team members can do their best work.


The term “neurodiversity” refers to the diversity of all people, but is often used in the context of autism, as well as ADHD/ADHC (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder/condition), dyslexia and other neurodevelopmental conditions. While neurodivergent employees can create tremendous value within organizations, their potential is often squandered due to a lack of workplace support. Autistic workers might struggle to get a fair hearing for their ideas if they encounter communication difficulties, or those with ADHD/ADHC might find it difficult to work at their full potential in an environment with constant distractions.

But organizations can create an environment where neurodivergent team members can do their best work — and feel great about showing up each day.

Dr. Daniel Wendler will share best practices for creating an inclusive work environment that celebrates and empowers neurodivergent employees. You'll gain practical tools that you can apply whether you're a leader or team member, and whether you are neurotypical or neurodivergent yourself.
