The NeuroInclusive Leaders Series is a monthly learning experience designed for employers, managers, HR leaders, supervisors, educators, and anyone responsible for shaping workplace culture.

Each session explores practical, real-world strategies for recruiting, onboarding, supporting, and retaining neurodivergent talent. Through expert speakers, case studies, and actionable tools, participants gain a deeper understanding of neuroinclusive practices that strengthen teams, increase retention, and create more equitable opportunities.

This series equips leaders with the knowledge and confidence to build workplaces where neurodivergent individuals feel valued, supported, and empowered to contribute their strengths.

This Month’s Topic: Is Your Digital Content ADA Compliant?

Presenter: Mara Waldruff, M.A., Embrace Access

When digital content isn’t accessible, people with disabilities are often left out. Websites, PDFs, and media that aren’t designed with accessibility in mind can make it hard to get information, take action, or fully participate. In this session, you’ll see common accessibility barriers, learn what to watch for in your own content, and get simple, practical tips you can use right away. We’ll also talk about how accessible design supports people with disabilities and makes digital experiences better for everyone.

Cost: $10 Members / $25 Non-Members

Become an Ally to Autistic Colleagues with INTENT: INteractive Tool for Empathy in NeuroTypicals

Speaker: Andrew Begel, Associate Professor of Computer Science in the Software and Societal Systems Department in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University

Overview:

Autistic people at work are expected to communicate according to neurotypical expectations but often fail, incurring blame, retaliation, and discrimination.

Our INTENT project asks neurotypical people to learn to accommodate their autistic coworkers instead of the other way around. We built an interactive transformational video game for neurotypicals with three scenarios that show how autistic people may experience the workplace and portray actions that neurotypicals can take to be better allies to them. 

Please reach out if you’d like to try out our training materials and measure their potential impact on inclusion towards autistic people in your workplace!

Cost: Free for CNDCC Members  /  $35 for Non-Members.

The Power of Unmasking: Living and Leading Authentically — Creating Success on Your Terms

Speaker: Mandy Casteel-Denney, Blue Tulip Inclusive Education

Overview:

Entrepreneurship often pushes us to wear masks—projecting constant confidence, downplaying our differences, or following models of success that don’t actually fit who we are. The cost? Burnout, disconnection, and businesses that feel out of alignment. In this talk, we’ll explore the first three steps to reclaiming your authentic power as an entrepreneur: recognizing the masks you wear in business, identifying your Authenticity Anchors—the values and practices that keep you aligned—and finding safe spaces where you can begin to unmask.

These practices don’t just restore your energy and clarity—they become your business advantage, helping you build trust, attract the right opportunities, and create success that feels true to you.

Cost: Free for CNDCC Members  /  $35 for Non-Members.

Accommodations vs. Universal Design: What’s the Difference?

Speaker: Kate Broeking, ThynkStack

Inclusion isn’t just about making exceptions—it’s about designing environments where everyone can thrive. This workshop unpacks the important differences between accommodations, which are often individualized and reactive, and universal design, which is proactive and inclusive by default.

Participants will explore how accommodations serve essential, immediate needs, while universal design builds systems, spaces, and practices that naturally support a wide range of abilities from the start. Through real-world examples and interactive discussion, we’ll examine how shifting toward a universal design mindset can reduce stigma, increase accessibility, and create better outcomes for neurodivergent individuals and the broader community.

Whether you're a business leader, educator, HR professional, or advocate, this session will leave you with a deeper understanding of how to build inclusive environments that work better—for everyone.
