Event Overview

Dyslexia and dyspraxia are forms of neurodiversity that are very often misunderstood. Each affects approximately 10% of the population and neither has any effect on intelligence. It is very likely that you will already be working with someone with one or both of these characteristics. In this session we aim to debunk some common myths and to help employers and employees alike understand how to enable existing and potential colleagues with dyslexia and/or dyspraxia to work to their full potential, and embrace their neurodiversity
