Commissioner Raquel Regalado welcomes community partners to the second Neuroinclusion at Work webinar. Last week covered hiring. This session covers what comes next: supporting neurodivergent employees once they’re on the job, and the local organizations that can help employers do it.
Joining the Commissioner:
Rick – Chamber South, on the Neuroinclusion Task Force and how local businesses can take the pledge, get trained, and become neuro-friendly workplaces
Leanne – Advocacy Network on Disabilities, on individual supports, success coaches, and tailored employer training
Rick Beasley – CareerSource South Florida, on job placement, training resources, and incentives that offset the cost of hiring
What you’ll learn:
✔ Simple, low-cost accommodations: adjusted lighting, headphones, quiet spaces, buddy systems
✔ Why accommodations go beyond physical access under the ADA
✔ Short-term placements (8–10 week programs like Next Steps) as a low-commitment way to try out an employee
✔ Why recommendations, résumés, and LinkedIn profiles matter, and how to start early
✔ How inclusive workplaces improve retention and morale for everyone
