Do you have an interest in neurodiversity, specifically in engineering?
Perhaps you’ve been diagnosed, support someone who has been diagnosed, or you’re simply interested in the role neurodiversity plays in engineering.
If so, we need your help!
We’re currently expanding the neurodiversity support we provide to our community, and we’re looking for community members to take part in special virtual focus groups to help us understand how we can best meet the needs of those who need it most.
We will be hosting two focus groups in September. Register for the relevant session below to save your place and have your say on the support we provide to neurodiverse engineers and their families:
