Rooted in the lived experiences of the presenters – a neurodivergent employee and their manager, this session provides an authentic dialogue about how working through the process of accommodations shaped personal and professional relationships and well-being.

This dialogue-style presentation will provide tips and advice, practical tools, and learnings from failures related to the following themes:

- Advocacy & relationship building

- Communication & transparency

- Fostering well-being

- Navigating Challenges

- Supervision & evaluation

- Managing up & sideways

- Organizational culture/climate

This case study offers practical recommendations for creating neurodiversity-friendly workplaces in academic libraries and beyond. It also invites attendees to reconsider the narrative of accommodation as a solitary journey. Instead, it underscores the transformative power of teamwork and dialogue in fostering a truly accessible and equitable workplace.

By sharing our story, we hope to contribute to a broader understanding of neurodiversity in the workplace and inspire others to embrace accessibility as a collective effort.

Director, Goizueta Business Library, Emory University
I've been both a corporate librarian (at an accounting, tax, and consulting firm) and an academic business librarian.
In both instances, my roles were both as director/leader of the library and as one of the "boots on the ground" business librarians.
