Neurodiversity & Digital Accessibility - Episode 13

Neurodiversity is a hot topic right now.

Organisations are looking to hire people who are autistic & dyslexic because of the diversity of thinking they can bring to their workforce. But how do you make sure your organisation is set up to be able to recruit neurodiverse people and enable them to thrive in your working culture, especially when it comes to your digital communications, tools, and meeting practices?

Unfortunately, the needs of neurodiverse people are not well represented in the technical standards for delivering accessibility in websites and apps – the WCAG Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Here you can listen to Jonathan Hassell as he shares the research and key learnings from research done with the National Autistic Society to deliver ‘the missing neurodiversity guidelines’ for the digital world.

He shares what the guidelines could bring for your organisation – how can they improve your recruitment and onboarding processes, the tools your staff use, your internal communications, and how your external websites and apps connect with more of your customers.
