SUMMARY:Neurodiversity Rising 2 (NDR2)
DESCRIPTION:Together we can create a more equitable and representative workforce—for everyone. \n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nIt’s time to expand and enrich the neurodiversity movement\, which has historically focused on inclusion of autistic people. These efforts have made meaningful impacts in the workforce and society at large\, but qualified autistic job seekers still face high rates of unemployment while other forms of neurodivergence are routinely overlooked. \n\n\n\nBy welcoming and supporting the full range of human neurodivergence\, a significant minority representing 20-30% of the general population\, we can build stronger momentum toward inclusion for all. This event acknowledges our responsibility to close the gaps in existing supports\, celebrate unacknowledged strengths\, and find ways to reach everyone as the movement reaches new heights. \n\n\n\nTogether we will open up the conversation on neurodiversity employment to honor all types of neurodivergence\, including dyslexia\, dyspraxia\, Tourette syndrome\, ADHD\, OCD\, and more. Neurodivergent employees and experts in the field will share their personal experiences and knowledge. Join us as we look ahead to a new era of broad neurodiversity inclusion! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKeynote Speaker\n\n\n\nRach Idowu (she/her/hers) is an ADHD advocate who was recently diagnosed in January 2020. Shortly after her diagnosis\, Rach started a newsletter on adulting with ADHD and used Twitter to find and connect with other adults who have ADHD. Since then\, she has grown to be a prominent member of the ADHD community on Twitter and has featured in the NYTimes\, The Independent\, and Mashable. Rach also runs a Discord channel for Neurodivergent working professionals\, where reasonable accommodations and managing workload is often discussed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPanel Discussion: Expanding Our Reach in the Future of Neurodiversity Hiring\n\n\n\nDr. Tracy Johnson (she/her/hers) is the Founding President and CEO of Vessels of Hope\, a non-profit organization that helps individuals with learning disabilities. Dr. Johnson’s remarkable story of perseverance begins when she was placed in special education classes in the sixth grade\, but was not diagnosed with dyslexia until years later. Tracy’s faith and encouragement to other students with dyslexia helped to sustain her when she became discouraged over the course of her education. Tracy is a dedicated role model and a leader in the dyslexia community and other populations with learning disabilities. \n\n\n\nTumi Sotire (he/him/his) runs a social media platform called the Black Dyspraxic which aims to highlight the intersectionality of race neurodiversity. Tumi has been featured in Forbes and sits on the board of advisors at the Centre for Neurodiversity at Work Birbeck University London University. \n\n\n\nAccessibility\n\n\n\nClosed captioning (CC) and live transcript will be available.Call-in option available.Slides\, transcript\, and captioned recording are available after the event\, upon request.Key takeaways will be sent to all attendees. Easy read and plain language versions available.If there are any additional accommodations you will need to access this event\, please contact us at bmcelroy@nitw.org.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Neurodiversity in the Workplace™\n\n\n\nNeurodiversity in the Workplace™ (NITW) is dedicated to making neurodiversity a fundamental component of talent acquisition by eliminating barriers faced by neurodivergent job seekers. \n\n\n\nAs a nonprofit business consultancy\, we design\, implement and sustain neurodiversity hiring programs with partner organizations. Our partnerships with companies such as Dell Technologies\, Bank of America\, SAP\, and VMware allow us to connect highly qualified neurodivergent talent to career opportunities across the globe.

SUMMARY:Neurodiversity and the future of work
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, 50\,000 American children on the autism spectrum reach their 18th birthday\, yet 80 percent of these young adults will be\, and currently are\, unemployed. Neurodivergent individuals include those on the autism spectrum and those with bipolar disorder\, dyslexia\, dyspraxia\, and several other intellectual and developmental differences. These individuals face unique challenges in the labor market\, issues which are only growing more complex with the rise of remote work\, automation\, and the prioritization of noncognitive skills. \n\n\n\nAEI’s Brent Orrell and Jessica Lee of NeuroTalent Works will offer remarks on the state of neurodiversity in employment. Panelists will then discuss the future of neurodiverse work\, the private sector’s efforts to promote neurodiversity in hiring processes and workplace environments\, and the role of public policy in addressing the barriers for neurodivergent individuals in the workplace. \n\n\n\nLIVE Q&A: Submit questions to Jessie.Wall@aei.org or on Twitter with #NeuroDivWorks. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n3:00 PMOpening remarks:Jessica Lee\, Executive Director\, NeuroTalent WorksBrent Orrell\, Senior Fellow\, AEI \n\n\n\n3:10 PMDiscussion \n\n\n\nPanelists:Alix Generous\, Neurodiversity ActivistJessica Lee\, Executive Director\, NeuroTalent WorksScott Michael Robertson\, Senior Policy Adviser\, Office of Disability Employment Policy\, US Department of LaborJose H.

Andrew is an advocate for Autism and neurodiversity acceptance. Andrew is a board member for Autism Career Pathways and was an Ambassador for ABLE National Resource Center in 2020. \n\n\n\nAbout Neurodiversity in the Workplace™\n\n\n\nNeurodiversity in the Workplace™ (NITW) is dedicated to making neurodiversity a fundamental component of talent acquisition by eliminating barriers faced by neurodivergent job seekers. \n\n\n\nAs a business consultancy and training provider\, we design\, implement and sustain neurodiversity hiring programs with partner organizations seeking a more diverse\, equitable\, and innovative workforce.
