Thank you to our wonderful speakers this evening and also to our fabulous attendees!! 👏👏👏 Now we move on to our AGM - we hope to see many new faces in the 2026 committee 🤞

Clear communication from managers is essential for supporting neurodivergent staff. Having strong library policies and encouraging staff to work on projects that they are passionate about are also beneficial #CDGND

For spaces to truly be inclusive, they should be co-created. Brings to mind the "Nothing about us without us" slogan #CDGND

A key point from Elaine: accessibility around recruitment and leadership progression is extremely important. To do this, managers may consider providing disabled candidates with additional accommodations in interview settings #CDGND

Library spaces can be both negative and positive places for neurodivergent people. On one hand they can be noisy and busy, on the other they can also be quiet and have sensory supports. Collaboration with stakeholders is key to creating inclusive library spaces #CDGND

Managers should be clear about what is expected of all staff and should clarify what accessibility looks like within the workplace #CDGND

Unfortunately we often encounter red-tape obstacles when it comes to providing supports for neurodivergent staff in libraries #CDGND

Good point from Elaine. Neurodivergent staff are usually the best to support neurodivergent users because they themselves have likely had similar experiences #CDGND

Up next we have Elaine Chapman from TU Dublin! We can’t wait to hear what wisdom Elaine has to share 🙌 #CDGND

Andy @playbrarian.uk also does in-depth and interactive in-person workshops focusing on neurodivergent staff or users. Check out his website for more info: playbrarian.uk #CDGND

If you're neurodivergent and working in the library or info sector in the UK and Ireland, @nlisn.bsky.social is a peer support network that welcomes all neurodiverse individuals. They have resources on their website, a mailing list, run events and evidence representation and impact #CDGND

A note on language - go with what people prefer but default should be identity first language #CDGND

Be sure to follow @nlisn.bsky.social here on Bluesky! And here's their website for more info: nlisn.org #CDGND

First up tonight are @jofitz.bsky.social and @playbrarian.uk co-chairs and founders from @nlisn.bsky.social here to give an intro to neurodiversity and talk about the work NLISN do #CDGND

Starting shortly at 6:30pm! Our final event of 2025: Neurodiversity in Libraries featuring featuring speakers Jo @jofitz.bsky.social & Andrew @playbrarian.uk (co-chairs of @nlisn.bsky.social) and Elaine from TU Dublin. We'll be live-posting tonight with #CDGND

A huge thank you to our wonderful speakers 👏 We hope everyone enjoyed our ePortfolio workshop and we look forward to seeing you at future events! Certificates and evaluation forms will be sent to attendees in due course so keep an eye on your inboxes. #CDGEportfolios

Some final words of advice from Isabelle and Robert: Keep it professional Have a clear intention Keep the tone positive Don’t make it too personal #CDGEportfolios

Good advice from Isabelle: some platforms are free and some are not. She advises to start with a free model and then perhaps upgrade to a paid one if you want to further down the line. #CDGEportfolios

Really appreciate Isabelle and Robert giving us all time to put it into practice but also means I have no excuses now for not having an ePortfolio 😅 #CDGEportfolios @laicdgroup.bsky.social

Don’t be shy, if you’ve got a question please post it in the chat! #CDGEportfolios

Making an ePortfolio can be fun! It’s almost like making a scrapbook - but one that can assist with your professional development 👏 #CDGEportfolios

Robert advises to avoid the use of generative AI in ePortfolios. It should be a reflection of you - so allow your own voice to be heard! #CDGEportfolios

What about making your ePortfolio publicly available? Some web platforms can be set to hidden, which means that they can only be found using a link. You might decide to only make your ePortfolio visible for a certain period of time, such as when you are applying for new jobs. #CDGEportfolios

Robert gives some examples of different reflective models. These models can be useful for guiding your reflection. #CDGEportfolios

Reflection is a key component of the e-portfolio. What have you learned? How did you learn it? What will you change going forward? These are all good points to hit on. #CDGEportfolios

Robert Alfis has a look into the Professional Development arrangement on ePortfolios and the skills you can list out! Take a look. 😍 #CDGEportfolios

As an example of an ePortfolio, Robert Alfis offers an example of his own. #CDGEportfolios robertalfis.wordpress.com

Biggest reminder for your ePortfolio? It is a living document! Update it as you do new things. Keep it current. #CDGEportfolios

What goes into your ePortfolio? These are a good idea. 🤔 #CDGEportfolios
