We'll also hear from Lindsay Wrege\, Founder of 321 Coffee\, as she dives deeper into integrating all types of people into a workplace\, and Matthew Schwab will present his Ted Talk "How I Know Including People with Down Syndrome is a Good Thing."\n\n\n\nWe'll also hear stores from two local Special Olympics Athletes!\n\n\n\nYou'll take away a better understanding of neurodiversity\, how neurodivergent employees can benefit your team and organization\, and concessions that can set your neurodivergent employees up for success\, and we hope you'll be inspired by the motivating stories you'll hear in this program. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizations and institutions across the country are quickly realizing that diversity cannot be the end goal.
