Strategies for Successful Career Transitions for Neurodivergent Adults

Jane Singleton and Carolyn Jeppson

Traditional hiring and training practices often fail to recognize, or actively overlook, the strengths neurodivergent professionals bring to the workplace: intense focus, innovative thinking, and complex pattern recognition. The result? Early career dissatisfaction and burnout. Join Jane and Carolyn as they bridge that gap with actionable strategies for both neurodivergent job seekers and the organizations hiring them. Drawing on Jane's expertise in Universal Design for Learning (UDL) workplace systems and career and leadership coaching, alongside Carolyn's program development work with BroadFutures and her experience facilitating transition programs and employer partnerships, this conversation shifts the focus from deficit-based accommodations to strength-based system design.
