Interest in Neurodiversity is on the rise, but what are our obligations as HR professionals? Learn from a clinical psychologist what Neurodiversity is, and from an Employment Lawyer what your obligations are to accommodate.
In this event, we will cover some of the common neurodivergent conditions, explore the different ways we can accommodate people with those conditions, and discuss where reasonable accommodation fits into that conversation.
