Introduction -- Understanding neurodiversity -- Neurodivergent individuals -- Employer responsibilities -- Inclusive recruitment -- Communicating for neurodiversity -- Policies and practice for neurodiversity -- Neurodiverse-friendly environments -- Working with neurodivergent customers and clients.
Summary:
Estimates suggest that up to 20% of employees, customers and clients might have a neurodivergent condition - such as dyslexia, autism, Asperger's, ADHD or dyspraxia - yet these individuals often struggle to gain and maintain employment, despite being very capable. This practical, authoritative business guide will help managers and employers support neurodiverse staff, and gives advice on how to ensure workplaces are neuro-friendly. The book demonstrates that neurodiversity is a natural aspect of human variation to be expected and accepted, rather than a deficit to be accommodated.
