LI Webinar: An Introduction to Neurodiversity

Professional Skills

Join us for this exciting one-hour webinar where Steven Ingram, founder of Neurodiversity Together, will share invaluable insights about neurodiversity and leave you with a greater understanding as well as some things you can do at work, on projects or in landscapes to become more neuro-inclusive.

This webinar is aimed at all Landscape Institute members and non-members who want to learn more about neurodiversity.

Neurodiversity is a topic being discussed more and more, yet the commercial and cultural benefits are often misunderstood and not realised.

During this webinar, Steven will address this and more, through discussing a range of topics including:

Learn what neurodiversity is, looking at definitions and experiences from a range of people, including neurodivergent people, parents of neurodivergent children and managers or colleagues.
Explore the benefits and challenges of neurodiversity at work.
Consider approaches you can use in your day-to-day work.

“Openness ad honesty about the issue and how it impacts the individual and other team members and the benefits it can bring” – past attendee
