AIMA Canada is proud to present our 6th annual Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion series, Breaking Barriers, on the topic of Neurodiversity.

The term neurodiversity relates to a brain that functions differently than a neurotypical brain. Neurodiversity is still largely overlooked in the asset management industry and neurodivergent brains may be misperceived as a disability when truly, many people with neurocognitive disabilities have varied skills and talents that they bring to their role and to the firm’s culture as a whole.

The panel will look to explore key topics such as:

• What is neurodiversity and what does it mean for individuals who are neurodivergent?
• Self-disclosure in the workplace and the fear of rejection
• Cognitive diversity and changing the narrative on different or divergent thinking
• The barriers that exist for neurodivergent brains, in recruitment, social settings and day-to-day work
• Accommodation for neurodivergent employees so they can thrive in their workplace environment

Speakers:

• Dave Moore, Managing Director and Chief Compliance Officer, BMO Capital Markets
• Leanna Falkiner, Founder, NeuroInclusion Works
• Vanessa Tomas, MSc., PhD Candidate, Rehabilitation Science Institute, University of Toronto, Faculty of Medicine, Bloorview Research Institute

Moderator:
