SUMMARY:Visible & Invisible Disabilities and Neurodivergence Conference & Job Fair
DESCRIPTION:Talented and highly skilled working-age disabled and neurodiverse adults participate in the workforce significantly less than those without disabilities\, and experience unemployment rates much higher than their able-bodied and neurotypical peers. \n\n\n\nVarious factors influence these stark realities\, such as discrimination and unconscious bias\, barriers in recruitment processes\, or workplaces that are designed for able-bodied\, neurotypical workers. \n\n\n\nAt this summit\, PowerToFly wants to flip the status quo on its head by destigmatizing disabilities and neurodivergence in the workplace\, both visible and invisible. Join disability inclusion experts and neurodiversity advocates as they address: \n\n\n\n\nUnderstanding neurodiversity\n\n\n\nThe benefits and drawbacks that hybrid and remote work can have on a person with a disability\n\n\n\nRespectful and inclusive language\n\n\n\nThe historical context of disability in the public sphere\n\n\n\nAccessible technology\n\n\n\n\nand much more! \n\n\n\nThe summit will conclude with a virtual job fair featuring companies that are committed to neurodiversity and disability inclusion\, and will answer candidate’s questions about how they are creating and maintaining inclusive spaces.
