Neuroinclusion in the Workplace
This series is part of continued work for supporting cognitive diversity and neuroinclusion. The Accessibility Standing Group identified speakers to share their experiences and expertise about workplace support, along with creating opportunities for conversation. Each session starts with a presentation, followed by time for discussion, questions, and responses.
