If embracing diversity is important to your organisation, working out ways to accommodate neurodiversity in your not-for-profit board should be on your agenda.
As progressive organisations accept neurological diversity as a feature and not a flaw of human variation, the Institute of Community Directors Australia (ICDA) is aiming to help crack open assumptions about people who think differently, while showing you how knowledge of neurodiversity can help you lead better.
Neurodiversity spans the spectrum of autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, and Tourette syndrome, to name a few diagnoses.
As well as developing new resources and updating ICDA’s training materials, ICDA trainer and neurodiversity advocate Annabel Rattigan will host a lunchtime “Welcome to Neurodiversity” webinar (November 21) as part of a personal and professional mission to help schools, not-for-profits and workplaces become more neuro-affirming.
