An estimated 1 in 8 people are considered neurodiverse, but less than 50% are aware of their condition and very few businesses are designing workplaces to accommodate their particular needs. 

Yet, people with ADHD, Tourettes, Dyslexia and Autism Spectrum Disorders are often individuals with a unique perspective on the world who can help unlock innovation, creativity and big picture thinking in organizations.

In this webinar and Q&A, Kay Sargent, senior principal at HOK, and her colleagues Sarah Oppenhuizen and Mary Kate Cassidy explore how workplace design can bring the best out of these extraordinary individuals and create truly inclusive workplaces.
