Accessibility Caf茅 - The New Inclusivity: Neurodiversity and Workplace Inclusion
Join us for the next Accessibility Caf茅 on Wednesday, April 28, 2:00 - 3:00pm! Presented by the Queen鈥檚 Human Rights and Equity Office and the Queen鈥檚 University Built Environment Advisory Group (BEAG) .
Abstract:
We are living in a time of increased numbers and awareness about individuals with neuro-sensitives and special needs, such as ADHD. In fact, 1 in 8 people are considered neurodiverse but fewer than 50% know it. But these individuals can be high energy, out of the box thinkers, excel in a crisis, and be bold problem solvers. Not only is designing to be inclusive the right thing to do, there is a compelling business case for it as well.
Speaker:
Kay Sargent, Senior Principal | Director of WorkPlace
Learning Objectives:
- Learn the different neuro-sensitives and how they impact individuals
- Understand the areas of sensitivity and the potential design solutions to address them
