Join Hijinx on Tuesday 18th January at 1pm-2pm for an interactive Zoom workshop on how to communicate effectively with vulnerable customers and/or colleagues.
This one-hour workshop will introduce the topic of effective communication and will use pre-recorded scenarios, featuring Hijinx actors, to highlight effective and non-effective communication.
The workshop provides participants with an opportunity to engage with actors with learning disabilities and/or autism, creating a truly inclusive approach to promoting diversity and equality in the workplace.
Participants will gain:
- confidence to speak and act naturally with learning disabled and/or autistic people
- greater awareness of misconceptions around disability
- tools and tips on how to communicate effectively with people who have learning disabilities and autism
- greater empathy, awareness and listening skills
- transferable skills to assist positive communication in sensitive situations
