In this episode, I get to speak with Dave Thompson. Dave has been an educator, innovator, and advocate in the field of Neurodiversity Employment since 2010. As a self-advocate with ADHD and Dyslexia, he got his start working with teens in the New York City Foster Care system. During his later time at The Nicholas Center and Spectrum Designs Foundation, he helped to create, manage, scale and effectively replicate systems of support which help dozens of neurodivergent individuals in the workplace every day. Today, as Director of Strategic Programs for Potentia, Dave supports companies in becoming more neuroinclusive through training on best practices, as well as recruiting and providing ongoing support to neurodistinct professionals. His work is fed by an insatiable desire to see the world of work continue to evolve through increased opportunity, flexibility, empathy, acceptance, and support, as well as a more positive and productive collective attitude toward people labeled ‘different.’ Join us to hear about our experiences with neurodiversities and about how being 'different' can help us change the world.
