Neurodiversity: Hidden Culture and Learning the Language Training

Course Outline

Did you know that nearly 40% of our population is believed to be neurodiverse? Individuals who are neurodiverse experience, interact and interpret the world differently than others. While most people classify as neurotypical, the distinct behaviors and characteristics between the two can naturally cause a disconnect and impact how we communicate as a workforce.

For any organization that promotes diversity, team communication plays a pivotal role in not only how we perform individually, but how we execute organizational objectives. Learning about neurodiversity can help bridge the gap between the two.

Understanding neurotypical and neurodistinct thinking can help you discover hidden talents in your workforce. And helping all team members understand how to relate to and work together will help build successful working relationships and improve cross-departmental communication.
