A two-day conference aimed at promoting understanding and practical change around neurodiversity in education and the workplace is coming to Stoke-on-Trent this September.
The Neuroinclusion Conference, taking place on Thursday 11 and Friday 12 September at the Catalyst Building on the University of Staffordshire campus, will bring together educators, employers and advocates to explore how society can better support neurodivergent people.
Day one of the conference will focus on neurodiversity in education, with sessions exploring inclusive classrooms, executive functioning, masking in ADHD and autism, mental health in neurodiverse young people and the human experience of dyslexia.
Day two will shift the focus to neurodiversity in the workplace, covering topics such as access to government support through Access to Work, disclosure and reasonable adjustments, inclusive recruitment and how to build employee resource groups.
Claire Kerry, CEO and founder of The Neurodiversity Network, said: “Attendees will be able to gain insight from leading voices in education, business, and neurodivergent communities, discover practical support and funding opportunities and build their network with like-minded professionals, educators, and advocates.”
Attendees can choose between free exhibition-only tickets, offering the chance to meet support organisations between 10am and 3pm, or full-day CPD-accredited tickets which include talks, workshops and certification.
