‘The Canary Code’ Offers Strategies For Creating Neuro-inclusive Workplaces

Members of autism, ADHD, Tourette syndrome, and other neurodivergent communities often face significant barriers to employment, but a groundbreaking book by Ludmila N. Praslova, Ph.D., offers a framework for creating neuro-inclusive workplaces.

“The Canary Code: A Guide to Neurodiversity, Dignity, and Intersectional Belonging at Work” from Berrett-Koehler Publishers, seeks to challenge and change the conventional approach to workplace inclusion, placing a specific focus on neurodiversity.

Praslova’s approach emphasizes the need for businesses to embrace the cognitive, emotional, and neurobiological differences inherent in their employees. draws on academic research, her own expertise as an organizational psychologist, and lived experiences as a member of the autistic community to provide a fresh perspective.

“The Canary Code” provides practical strategies for CEOs, human resources and diversity leaders, and consultants to implement neuro-inclusive practices, creating workplaces that harness diverse talents.

Praslova’s insights aim to revolutionize how talent is managed and how workplaces embrace neurodiversity — what Praslova calls a cornerstone for innovation and productivity.
