About the Session

Welcome to a journey of understanding, acceptance, and celebration- The Neurodiversity Workshop. In a world often defined by norms and conformity, we recognize the beauty in the mosaic of neurological variations. From the intricate pathways of autism to ADHD and dyslexia, every perspective is a revelation.

The neurodiversity workshop is tailored for corporates looking to recognize and accommodate neurological differences, fostering a more inclusive and supportive workplace that truly values diversity and leverages the unique strengths that neurodivergent individuals bring to the table.

Agenda of the Session

The agenda of the workshop is customized based on the expectation of the audience and covers a range of important topics as follows:

Understanding Autism: Exploring what autism is and its significance, both in India and globally.
  • Challenges and Manifestations: Discussing the challenges and issues that individuals on the autism spectrum may face, as well as the various ways these challenges manifest.
  • Effective Interaction: Providing insights into the do’s and don’ts of interacting with individuals on the autism spectrum, including appropriate terminologies.
  • Autism in the Workplace: Highlighting the presence and contributions of individuals on the autism spectrum in a professional setting.

To make the workshop more engaging, inviting an artist on the autism spectrum who can shatter the myths and misconceptions surrounding neurodiversity for the audience works really well. Combining the workshop with a live performance or interactive art session can help the participants engage with the topic both theoretically and through practical application.
