Are you keen on implementing a neurodiversity talent strategy at your company?

This workshop, made possible by FCAI in collaboration with UConn’s Center for Neurodiversity & Employment Innovation and Alliance Bernstein, is limited to just 15 companies. It offers a unique chance to participate in a full-day event aimed at scoping and designing a neurodiversity program prototype for each organization.

This workshop will guide participants through a comprehensive roadmap to create a plan for implementing a neurodiversity program within their organization, instilling confidence in their approach. Through the FCAI, this workshop incorporates insights from FCAI’s expert business scholars. 

Participating companies will benefit from a measurement of the effectiveness of their efforts and how they align with their goals.
