Neurodiversity, NRPA Member Development, Workforce Development, 2025 Conference Theme: Build Together, Play Together

Description:
Do you have a hard time keeping a team member’s attention? Feel like they’re easily distracted or not valuing your time together? Or has the coworker disclosed that they have been diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and asked for your support? You are not alone. As the number of adult diagnoses increases and medication availability decreases, the need for a compassionate and supportive workplace is strong. Join this session to learn more about ADHD, gain insight into how ADHD brains work best and discover how you can help support a successful working relationship. Does this session sound familiar? It’s back by popular demand! The speed session in 2024 garnered so much attention (pun intended) that we’ve shifted to a full-length session with more content, especially as it relates to workplace mental health.

Learning Objectives:

1. Attendees will learn to identify what ADHD tendencies, obstables and superpowers may influence performance.

2. Attendees will develop a list of potential workflow, interaction and/or environmental modifications.

3. Attendees will generate a list of action items that they can use to leverage coworkers' strengths.
