Estimates suggest that up to 20% of employees, customers and
clients might have a neurodivergent condition - such as dyslexia,
autism, Asperger's, ADHD or dyspraxia - yet these individuals often
struggle to gain and maintain employment, despite being very
capable. This practical, authoritative business guide will help
managers and employers support neurodiverse staff, and gives advice
on how to ensure workplaces are neuro-friendly. The book
demonstrates that neurodiversity is a natural aspect of human
variation to be expected and accepted, rather than a deficit to be
accommodated. Employer responsibilities are highlighted, including
the 2010 Equality Act, and a range of strategies and policies are
provided, including recruitment advice and the benefits of
neurodiverse employees, along with advice on physical environments,
interaction and communication, and working with clients and
customers. This book is an ideal resource for all employers wanting
to support and empower people with specific needs to help create a
more inclusive workplace, benefiting both neurodiverse individuals
and the companies employing them.
Full of simple strategies for happiness in children and teens with
autism, this book is a must read for anyone dedicated to the
wellbeing of a child on the spectrum. Bringing a refreshingly
positive approach to mental health and autism, the guide is full of
practical ideas for helping children strengthen their self-worth,
optimism and receptivity to happiness. It also reveals how children
can build resilience and better understand their feelings, giving
them the skills to flourish and thrive and to ward off negative
thoughts. The activities are ideal for all learning levels and can
be done individually or in groups, at home or in the classroom.
Talking about mental health in autism is all too often reduced to
ways of 'curing illness' - this book helps to prevent poor mental
health by making happiness a priority and an attainable goal.
This significant new resource is designed to support young people
with special education needs (SEN) to understand what is meant by
mental wellbeing and to help them to learn skills and strategies
which will support them in maintaining their mental health. The
resource is designed to be a clear, accessible and easy-to-use
resource that can easily be used by professionals (teachers,
teaching assistants, pastoral staff, and social workers) and
parents with no prior experience of teaching mental wellbeing.
Clear and engaging, this book offers a refreshing positive
psychology approach to mental health and autism. Moving away from
neurotypical views of happiness, it sets out simple techniques to
help adults on the spectrum improve their mental health. Packed
with helpful exercises for individuals and groups, it covers topics
such as recognising character strengths, dealing with negative
self-talk, building communication skills and self-awareness, and
forming coping strategies for the workplace. Autistic individuals
and professionals who work with them will find flexible and
practical solutions to recurring negative thoughts, helping clear
the path to a successful and happy future. A must-read for anyone
on the spectrum or those who support them.
With specific learning difficulties more prevalent than ever in
mainstream schools, this is the essential guide for teachers
wishing to create inclusive and successful learning environments in
diverse classrooms. Focusing on promoting acceptance and
self-esteem of each child rather than on labelling their
difficulties, it shows how to make good use of simple resources and
meet a wide range of needs, including children with ADHD, autism,
OCD, dyslexia and special speech and language needs. The practical
advice and strategies in this book enable schools to become more
accepting places for all pupils, and embrace neurodiversity as the
new 'normal' in education today.
