Organisations are increasingly aware of the need to understand neurodiversity. Workplaces benefit from valuing these differences, leading to a broader talent pool, better employee retention and improved employee satisfaction.

During this webinar, Dr Mohring will offer practical tips and advice for neurodivergent people and colleagues. She will also introduce the concept of Neurodiversity through explaining different patterns and exploring how these can be a strength or weakness in different work situations. Through anonymised case studies of neurodivergent lawyers she has worked with, Dr Mohring will demonstrate how they used communication to overcome their areas of weakness and play to their strengths.

• What does being neurodivergent mean?

• What are the common ways in which people are neurodivergent?
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder
  • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
