Overview

Grounded in lived experience, this course shows how small supervisory shifts—such as clarifying the “why,” agreeing on preferred communication, and normalizing support—unlock the strengths of neurodivergent staff. Leaders leave with scripts, tools, and resources to build trust, reduce stigma, and translate inclusion into everyday actions.
