描述:

The idea of creating inclusive employment opportunities for adults with 自闭症, 注意力缺陷多动症, 难语症, 以及其他学习差异 continues to gain momentum with employers of all types. But as practitioners attempt to operationalize this idea, they are finding it challenging to design and implement a strategy for their organization. 从哪里开始? 谁需要参与进来? 要花多少钱?

朱迪·赖利, Director of UConn’s 神经多样性中心 and 就业 Innovation (CNDEI), will provide participants with a practical “roadmap” employers can use to take a Neurodiversity Hiring Initiative from concept to execution as well as guide them in accessing the information and resources they need along the way.

描述:

Much like the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) oversees a corporation, the executive function (EF) system of the brain handles duties related to 监督 and monitoring our cognitive (“thought”) processes. This includes processing information needed for the task at hand, allocating attention (including switching between thoughts), and suppressing distractions (needed for prioritizing tasks). It is thus a crucial system required for all job duties; but just like the CEO, 要处理和监督的事情太多了, 而且(这两个)系统有时都需要帮助. This session will provide a brief overview of the critical components of executive function and how it helps us effectively accomplish tasks. It will then outline general principles and concrete strategies supervisors can use to support employee executive function.
