Neurodiversity may affect up to 15% of your association's members, attendees, learners and staff
Neurodiversity describes the unique way people's brain's work. From ADHD and autism to dyslexia and dyspraxia, neurodiversity may affect up to 15 percent of your association's members, attendees, learners and staff. One in seven people in your association's target audience may process information differently from the way society often expects.
Holly Martinson, M.ED., Executive Function Coach, and owner of Patient Minds, defines neurodiversity and explains what associations must do differently, additionally, and intentionally to serve their neurodiverse members. You'll walk away with tools to re-examine your education, training, networking, and other offerings with an eye toward meeting your neurodiverse professionals' needs and expectations.
