The Disability Friendly and Neurodiverse Workplace

Virtually all organizations have employees who live with visible and invisible disabilities, as well as individuals with neurodiverse exceptionalities. This course will focus on modern terminology and strategies that are evolving to better support these individuals, along with identifying 4 models of disability: ● Medical Model ● Social Model ● Affirmative Model ● Rights-Based Model Part of the discussion in the course will be considering how thoughtful awareness and meaningful support by managers (often posing very limited fiscal investment) can transform employees with intellectual, physical, sensory, and/or mental disabilities into high-functioning and highly committed team members in an organization.
