Neurodivergent people face drastic barriers in the workplace, and even to entering the workforce. Like canaries in the mine, neurodivergent people are impacted first by issues that ultimately harm everyone.

In this conversation with Dr Ludmila Praslova we explore how when you look after the people who are most vulnerable in the organisation, the most susceptible to toxic culture and poor systems, you in turn look after everyone. And this creates a massive win-win.

In this thought provoking conversation, we explore the power of an explicitly intersectional and holistic approach to (neuro)inclusion, and what leaders can do to centre, celebrate and invite in multiple voices from the neurodivergent community.

Ludmila shares lived experience and academic rigor, and tangible examples of how the Canary Code Model for intersectional inclusion can transform not just the working life of neurodivergent people, but of everyone.

Ludmila N. Praslova, Ph.D., is Professor of Psychology and the founding Director of Graduate Programs in Industrial-Organizational Psychology at Vanguard University of Southern California. Prior to her academic career, she built and led successful intercultural relations programs in global organizations. Her current consulting is focused on supporting organizations in creating systemic inclusion informed by an understanding of neurodiversity.

This conversation is a guide to change-making for CEOs, managers, HR leaders, and everyone who wants to contribute to building a more inclusive world. It’s changed how we think about inclusion – we’re sure it will for you too!
