# \[Neuro\]Diversity in the Workplace: Adapting Current Disability Laws and Inclusion Initiatives

NYU Labor Center

 March 2, 2023 from 4:00 pm to 5:15 pm (EST)

 

 

 

 

 

 

How do we bring more workers with non-apparent disabilities, including those under the neurodiversity umbrella (such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and mental health disabilities) into the workplace? Diagnosis of autism has skyrocketed while around 80% of autistic adults are currently unemployed despite businesses experiencing a worker shortage. How can businesses tap underutilized parts of the workforce. What are the benefits, challenges, and opportunities for employers in bringing on more neurodivergent workers and establishing neurodiversity at work programs? This webinar will explore privacy issues, training of management, discrimination, reasonable accommodations, disability inclusion in diversity training and initiatives, and more; and how each may be addressed.
