About this session

Neuroinclusion isn't a feel-good program — it's a way of working that makes more of your people more productive. Built specifically for the "Neurodiversity and Mental Health" context, this session stays concrete and respects your team's time.

Participants leave able to run an inclusion conversation without fumbling the language.

  • Run the specific executive-function supports that help across ADHD, autism and dyslexia
  • Recognize universal design principles that make meetings and docs work better for everyone
  • Apply identity-first vs person-first language — and when each applies
