Most organizations are familiar with diversity as it relates to EDI efforts, but less attention has been paid regarding how to accommodate and investigate complaints involving employees who are neurodivergent and/or have a mental disability.  This timely and practical session will address:

  • Whether it is appropriate to conduct an investigation in instances where the person’s disability is a factor in the conduct, and considering if alternative avenues should be pursued.
  • The importance of conducting threshold assessments in appropriate cases to determine whether a complaint should advance to an investigation. 
  • How to approach situations where you suspect a party may be neurodivergent or have a mental health disability.
  • Factors to consider when drafting credibility assessments involving neurodivergent individuals or an individual who may have a mental health disability.
  • How to make the investigation practice more flexible in order to obtain the best evidence possible.
  • Best practice tips for conducting interviews with neurodiverse parties using a trauma-informed lens
