Of the 109 participants, 36 people or 33% of participants completed the survey. Of these, 97% indicated they would recommend the Seminar to others. Key takeaways cited were a deeper understanding of inclusion, equity, diversity and accessibility; guidance on how to proceed on these issues; a better understanding of neurodiversity; and relationship building.
