October 16, 2025 at 11:00 AM PST/2:00 PM EST
In this session, we’ll look at why neurodiversity is becoming a central focus for employers and how its impact reaches beyond the individual to the whole family.
What you’ll learn
More employees are looking for support around neurodiversity, whether for themselves, their kids, or both. But most employers still tackle these needs in silos, with separate programs for adults and children. The result is fragmented, delayed, and costly care that leaves individuals and families without answers and organizations under more strain.
In this session, we’ll look at why neurodiversity is becoming a central focus for employers and how its impact reaches beyond the individual to the whole family. We’ll dig into the gaps individuals and families often face, from long waits for a diagnosis and caregiver stress to adults feeling pressure to hide who they are at work, and how those experiences ripple into the workplace.
You’ll walk away able to:
- Understand why neurodiversity is becoming a central focus for employers
- Explain how a connected approach can break down silos and support the entire ecosystem of employees and families
- Share practical, family-centered insights to bring into client conversations
