Do you struggle to translate your brilliant ideas and creative strengths into finished work? Neurodivergent employees, who make up 7.7% of the workforce , often report lower job satisfaction due to a lack of workplace respect and support.You may find yourself wondering:
"How can I stop getting overwhelmed by deadlines and organisational tasks?"
"What are my rights regarding reasonable adjustments in the workplace or school?"
"How do I ask for what I need without sounding demanding or negative?"
This 2-hour workshop is divided into two clear sessions to empower you to enhance your focus and advocate effectively for the support you need in your career or education.
We’ll explore:
ADHD Impact on Productivity: We'll examine how challenges in Executive Functioning (like Task Initiation and Time Management ), Sensory Processing , and Comorbidities affect your daily work.
Fairness and the Law: Understanding the Australian Disability Discrimination Act and your right to Reasonable Adjustments —and what constitutes an 'unjustifiable hardship' for an employer. * Reframing Self-Advocacy: Learn a four-part collaborative approach focusing on Clear Communication, Understanding Constraints, Solution Orientation, and Collaborative Problem-Solving.
Practical Solutions: Implementing ADHD-friendly strategies for your environment (e.g., managing auditory and visual distractions ), time management (e.g., Time Blocking, breaking down tasks ), and technology use (e.g., managing notifications ).
This workshop is for you if:
* You are an adult with ADHD who works or is currently in education.
* You need practical tools to overcome organisation, initiation, and consistency challenges.
* You want to learn how to frame support requests to achieve shared, successful outcomes with your employer or educator.
You’ll leave with:
* A reframed perspective on self-advocacy as a collaborative skill, not a confrontation.
* Concrete, actionable steps for optimising your physical and digital workspaces.
* The knowledge needed to start a collaborative conversation using a clear Action Plan.
