What is neurodiversity? What struggles do neurodivergent people face? And what are the benefits of having a team with neurodivergent people in it?
To help explore these questions, Ross G and Ross D are joined by Laura Kerbey, founder of NEST – Neurodivergent Education Support and Training. Laura has a degree in Psychology, a Post Graduate Certificate in Special Education and a PCGE in Life Long Learning.
We discuss:
- What we mean by ‘neurodiversity’
- The typical issues that neurodivergent employees face in the workplace
- How leaders and managers can take practical steps to include neurodivergent colleagues.
