SUMMARY:Webinar: De 5 belangrijkste inzichten over neurodiversiteit op de werkvloer
DESCRIPTION:Donderdag 11 juni 2026 | 10:00 – 10:45 CEST / Amsterdam time | Online \nLanguage: Dutch \nDe 5 belangrijkste inzichten over neurodiversiteit op de werkvloer is a free online webinar by Saskia Schepers\, organised as part of the AllMindsThrive webinar week on ND Pride. \nIn this session\, Saskia shares key lessons from daily lectures\, trainings and practice with organisations. The webinar looks at what has changed over the past five years in the conversation about neurodiversity at work\, and what organisations are learning as they move from awareness toward real neuroinclusion. \nThe session focuses on practical insights from the field: how organisations are doing compared with others\, which assumptions still get in the way of effective collaboration\, and what kinds of shifts are proving useful in practice. \nThis event connects well with Neurodiversity Pride Week because it focuses on the workplace as one of the places where neurodivergent people need more than individual adjustments. It invites organisations to stop trying to “fix” people and start improving the context in which people work together. \nPractical information\n\nEvent: De 5 belangrijkste inzichten over neurodiversiteit op de werkvloer\nDate: Thursday 11 June 2026\nTime: 10:00 – 10:45 CEST / Amsterdam time\nLocation: Online\nLanguage: Dutch\nSpeaker: Saskia Schepers\nOrganiser: AllMindsThrive\n\nWhat to expect\n\nLessons from five years of lectures\, trainings and workplace practice\nInsights from the Dutch Benchmark Neuro-inclusion\nReflection on common misconceptions about neurodiversity at work\nConcrete shifts and practical examples that help organisations collaborate more effectively\nA workplace-focused contribution to the wider Neurodiversity Pride Week conversation\n\nView the webinar week and registration information here
