Wendy Sellers
Did you know that an estimated 15–20% of the global population is neurodivergent? That means millions of employees experience the workplace through a different lens—bringing with them unique cognitive strengths such as hyper-focus, pattern recognition, and creative problem-solving. Yet, despite their potential, neurodivergent individuals are often overlooked or misunderstood in professional environments.
This webinar is designed to help HR professionals and workplace leaders better understand neurodivergent conditions and how to navigate both the legal requirements and practical strategies for supporting these employees under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
In this fast-paced and myth-busting session, we’ll explore the legal framework around neurodivergent conditions and disability status, demystify the interactive accommodation process, and offer real-world guidance on how to support neurodivergent team members without putting your organization at risk. You'll learn how inclusion isn’t just a compliance box to check—it’s a smart business decision that can unlock exceptional talent across your workforce. Plus, we’ll walk through specific scenarios, provide take-home toolkits, and highlight what to avoid in interviews, reviews, and employee conversations.
