The following guest webinar was created and presented by Ellie Middleton, Head of Community at Neuropool, Personal Brand Manager at Great Influence, prominent Neurodiversity advocate and a LinkedIn sensation.
Last year, Ellie was assessed with ADHD and has since discovered that she also has Autism. After going viral on LinkedIn and being a strong advocate for neurodiversity, she has now built an incredible community of over 20,000 like-minded people.
In this webinar, Ellie discusses some common barriers that people with ADHD can face in day-to-day life - such as auditory processing, written language, memory, organisation and concentration - and provides helpful solutions to tackle each of these barriers. She then discusses what Access to Work (AtW) is and walks through the AtW process step-by-step.
"It's not dramatic to say that it's [the ADHD assessment] honestly changed my life"
We are extremely excited to have teamed up with Ellie Middleton to bring you this brand new webinar.
