Overall aim of course
This session will be delivered face to face on campus
The workshop aims to help participants to consider neurodiversity and
reflect upon how it might affect the way we communicate, behave and
work. The session considers neurodiversity as difference in perception,
processing and organising information.
Intended outcomes and benefits from attending:
By the end of this workshop, participants will:
• Have a greater understanding of what neurodiversity means.
• Consider different ways of communicating
• Think about conditions for concentration and planning.
Indicative content: what the session will cover:
This workshop will be an introductory exploration of the concept of
neurodiversity as an essential form of human diversity. The session will
be an opportunity to consider different experiences of neurocognitive
functioning, of how our minds work. We will consider neurodiversity as
difference in perception, processing and organising information. The
workshop will be an opportunity to reflect upon how these differences
may change what we experience, the language we use and how we behave
with each other; and what this might mean for work and the workplace.
This will not be a diagnostic session but will be a chance for you to
consider ways that you organise information, and consider some ideas for
concentration and planning
