Keynote Outlines and Takeaways
Signature Keynote: Creating Cultures of Neuroinclusion
Neurodiversity and accessibility are hot topics right now, and it’s about time, especially as half of GenZ and a third of Millenials identify as neurodivergent and disabled. Neurodiversity and accessibility initiatives are becoming standard in DEIAB statements and strategies. 30% of Fortune 500 companies have already created Neurodiversity Hiring Programs. Given the mental health crisis in our world, more and more people over time are likely to identify both as neurodivergent and disabled (apparent or non-apparent). Organizations must be ready to meet the mental health, support, and access needs of their workforce.
Neurodiversity is the diversity of all minds, so your workforce is already neurodiverse. Some people identify as neurodivergent, meaning diverging from society’s idea of normal, and some of those same people identify as disabled. Learning how to effectively support neurodivergent and disabled talent is important if you want to attract, retain, and leverage these populations.
The key to creating cultures of neuroinclusion and accessibility is to be proactive, implement inclusive design, and use inclusive language. You do not have to wait for a problem before you create a solution. Be proactive in anticipating the access and support needs of your workforce, rather than putting people in a position where they have to disclose, explain their disability, or request accommodations. Use destigmatizing and depathologizing language, recognizing that language evolves and people should have the agency and autonomy to decide how they identify and how they define their unique strengths and challenges.
In this impactful and interactive presentation, Pasha offers the business and heart case for creating cultures of neuroinclusion and accessibility. She clearly defines terms such as neurodiversity, neurodivergent, and non-apparent disability. She offers an actionable framework for best engaging and leveraging a neurodiverse workforce, including successfully attracting, retaining, and supporting neurodivergent and disabled talent.
OBJECTIVES:
1. Participants will leave with a clear framework of effective neurodiversity-affirming and accessibility practices to successfully attract, retain, and support neurodivergent and disabled talent.
2. Participants will discuss proactive ways to create cultures of neuroinclusion and accessibility by analyzing the benefits of inclusive design, where access and support needs are assumed and accommodated.
3. Participants will explore the most current inclusive language of neurodiversity and disability, as well as key concepts such as the neurodiversity vs pathology paradigms.
