    This morning, John Abbott, our Head of Product at Recite Me, had the pleasure of joining a panel at Neurodiversity Celebration Week for the session 'Shaping Neurodiversity through Innovation & Technology', led by Prof. Amanda Kirby MBBS MRCGP PhD FCGI 🌟 It was such an engaging conversation, with discussions around AI, technology in the workplace, and how important it is to give people the freedom to choose the assistive technology that works best for them. A key takeaway was the reminder that everyone’s needs are unique, so it’s important to approach things without assumptions. #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek #NeurodiversityWeek #ThisIsND #NeurodiversityAwareness
