Autism in the Workplace; What You Need to Know is brought to you by Lorman
Increase your understanding of autism and deepen your knowledge of protections under the ADA.
In recent years, employers have increased their recruitment and recognition of neurodiverse job candidates, resulting in more neurodiversity in the workplace, including employees with autism. As awareness of intellectual impairments has increased, employers are increasingly challenged with navigating the Americans with Disabilities Act and other laws while identifying reasonable accommodations and creating inclusive working environments. Additionally, in recent years, the number of EEOC charges related to disability discrimination based on mental impairments has generally remained consistent or increased slightly depending on the impairment, but charges related to discrimination based on autism have gradually increased each year since 2015. This presentation will help increase employers’ understanding of autism, including common traits and strengths of employees with autism. Additionally, attendees will deepen their knowledge of the Americans with Disabilities Act, including employee protections under the ADA, particularly as it relates to employees with autism, and learn best practices to apply to their workplaces. This session will benefit employers greatly as neurodiversity in the workplace becomes increasingly popular.
