Donna Stevenson and Dr Deborah Leveroy come together for this discussion about the option to disclose your diagnosis to your workplace. More often than not, employees will keep their neruodifference to themselves in the workplace for fear of judgment, ridicule or even termination of their role. So they suffer in silence. This conversation looks at how to encourage the conversation, making the workplace a safe space to encourage self-advocacy.
Topics of discussion for this session will be on:
- How to encourage the conversation
- Case study
- Should companies be more proactively supplying adjustments
- Disclosure and diagnosis - remember you don't need an official diagnosis to have an adjustment
- Encouraging self-advocacy
