  • Recognize internalized and systemic ableism

  • Adopt affirming approaches to leadership, communication, and workplace culture

  • Develop actionable strategies rooted in values-based frameworks

Why It Matters

Neurodivergent individuals bring powerful insight, creativity, and leadership potential—when environments are designed to be affirming, not demanding assimilation and masking.

When organizations don’t actively support neurodivergent clients and team members, they miss out on innovation, trust, and long-term sustainability.

This workshop isn’t just about awareness—it’s about action. You’ll leave with tools to build systems, structures, and relationships that truly include.
