Advocating for Neurodiversity in the Workplace

In this 90-minute interactive workshop, we'll be looking at advocating for neurodiversity in the workplace. Our hosts, Christy Farr and Anuradha Kowtha, have extensive experience in working with neurodivergent people and we'll be sharing valuable insights about advocating for yourself, your team, and your organizations and communities.

We'll cover:

  • What is neurodivergence and how does it make for stronger teams and communities?

  • Why demanding an diagnosis adds additional barriers and what to do instead?

  • Legal, ethical and moral concerns around lack of accomodation and accessibility in the workplace

  • Ways to go about advocating for ourselves and others in a workplace setting

  • Our 3 step framework to creating a personalized action plan

  • ​​Overcoming resistance and building momentum

  • ​​Creating a clarity of purpose and action

l'll be sharing some examples, stories, and practical things you can useful things you can implement and discuss with yourself, your family, or your team.

​​Of course, I'll also be sharing a little bit about our new course, The Future is Accessible.

My pronouns are Anuradha/Anuradha’s or they/them.

​Anuradha is a neurodivergent, queer, Indian diasporic person who currently lives in greater London with their family. But their heart is still in the Sonoran Desert (in Arizona), where they were born. Anuradha's family migrated from South India, and they embrace that culture through their love of Bharata Natyam (temple dance), food, and music. In their work, Anuradha owns and runs The Kowtha Constellation where we help small business owners build ethical, accessible, and inclusive practices into their systems so they can sustainably grow your bottom line, do your work with more boldness, and improve customer and team retention. When Anuradha's not working, Anuradha loves to write, listening to & telling stories, create art, watch live performance art, and spend time with friends.
