For National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), we are sharing a few practices we emphasize in the neurodiversity training and support we have provided to over 90 employers over the years. Want to build a more neuroinclusive workplace? BroadFutures provides neurodiversity training and support for employers. Contact us to learn more: [email protected]"

ALT Four tips for creating neuroinclusive workplaces. 1. Make expectations clear. Be specific about priorities, deadlines, responsibilities, and what success looks like. Do not assume everyone will interpret an unwritten expectation the same way. 2. Provide direct, actionable feedback. Say what is working, what needs to change, and what the employee can do differently. Specific feedback is more useful than hints or vague language. 3. Check for understanding, not agreement. Instead of “Does that make sense?” try “What are your next steps?” This helps clarify expectations and confirm understanding without putting someone on the spot. 4. Focus on outcomes, not process. Provide flexibility in how employees achieve outcomes and where they are successful, not in how they got there."

ALT A BroadFutures Alum Spotlight on Bailey Galt.

ALT Quote from Bailey: "A helpful lesson I have learned in my time in the BroadFutures program is that nothing ever goes to plan, but that things not going to plan isn’t the end of the world either."

ALT Quote from Bailey: "I mostly focused on automating some processes for my team and leaving documentation so they could fix things if they broke in the future. It’s been tough but educational trying to communicate coding concepts to people who don’t know much about computer science, but my hope is that I’ll be clear enough that the automation has lasting value to the team."

ALT Quote from Bailey: "Use what resources you have. I feel like a lot of ND people, including myself, are unwilling to use what advantages we have because it’s somehow ‘cheating’, and I think that that’s a barrier mostly inside our own heads. There’s a lot more help out there than you think."
