CRISPESH webinar – Launch of new guide for more inclusive workspaces

In French with simultaneous translation into English

Wednesday June 12, 2024 from 12:00 – 1:00

Zoom

CRISPESH, in collaboration with researchers Marjorie Désormeaux-Moreau from Université de Sherbrooke and Isabelle Courcy from Université de Montréal, invites you to the launch of a guide that aims to make workplaces more inclusive, by providing tools to facilitate neuromixed communication, particularly between autistic and allistic (non-autistic) individuals.

Numerous studies underline the fact that communication-related challenges represent a major obstacle to job retention for autistic people. Such challenges can also limit their access to certain opportunities for career advancement, as well as their potential and their contribution to the organization. This innovative guide is based on the idea that all parties involved have a role to play in fostering communication. It aims to provide tools to allistic people – be they employers, supervisors, trainees, consultants, collaborators or others – so that they can actively contribute to creating more inclusive work environments conducive to the access and retention of autistic people in the workplace.

The launch will begin with a presentation of the guide followed by a question-and-answer session with the audience.

The development of the guide was made possible thanks to a grant from the ministère de l’Emploi et de la Solidarité sociale. SPHERE (Soutien à la Personne Handicapée En Route vers l’Emploi) was commissioned by the Ministry to manage the call for projects. A working committee of seven autistic members, two allistic researchers and one autistic researcher, played an essential role in the creation of the guide.
