We all want to contribute to and experience teams that are high-performing and collaborate effectively. Research tells us some of the qualities teams need to succeed (like safety, trust, and belonging), but how do we understand and interpersonally contribute to those qualities in a neurodiverse group? This session will help us view some of the foundational approaches to collaborating on teams through a neuro-inclusive lens. You’ll leave with additional cultural competence practices around observing, interpreting, and analyzing interpersonal workplace scenarios. You’ll also apply the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework to identify one or two additional practices you want to add to your toolkit when working within teams. Competency Alignment:
