Podcasts about specialisterne

Er du klar til et mere rummeligt arbejdsliv? Nu begynder vi en spændende sommerserie, hvor Flemming Christensen hver torsdag har talt med en udvalgt leder.   Hvad er det gode arbejdsliv, hvordan sætter vi alle kræfter i spil, hvordan bliver man bedre til at lede sig selv?   Den første gæst er Carsten Lassen.   Han er direktør for firmaet Specialisterne, der kæmper for et diverst arbejdsmarked, hvor potentialet vægtes højere end udfordringerne, og menneskers forskellige talenter udfoldes.   Specialisterne fokuserer på neurodivergente mennesker, særligt folk med autisme, som er en gruppe med et ofte uforløst potentiale. De er i følge Carsten kendetegnede ved, at de kan levere ekstraordinære resultater, hvis vi giver dem de rette rammer.   (Folk med fx autisme, adhd, Tourette og ordblindhed kan kaldes neurodivergente, da deres hjerner adskiller sig lidt for flertallets, som så kaldes neurotypiske.)   Lyt til denne samtale med Flemming Christensen, hvor Carsten Lassen kommer ind på:   ✔️ Vigtigheden af diversitet   ✔️ Om at verden er neurodivers. Vi ikke må dræbe kreativiteten ved at fokusere på processen fremfor målet   ✔️ Hvorfor nysgerrighed er et af de vigtigste lederkompetencer   ✔️ At en god moderne leder interesserer sig for mennesker, og at det er arbejdspladsen, der skal være robust og omstillingsparat for at få de bedste resultater.       Links https://thinkaboutit.dk/teamudvikling    https://thinkaboutit.dk/den-rigtige-kultur-i-teamet-styrker-din-strategi.html   https://thinkaboutit.dk/det-staerke-teambrand-skaber-trovaerdighed-og-indre-styrke-i-teamet.html

Anna Marton, geboren 1982 in Wien, ist zwar keine Autistin, kennt aber die Bedürfnisse von Menschen mit Autismus. Sie weiß, wie es ist mit einer anderen Wahrnehmung zu leben. Denn Anna Marton hat Legasthanie – eine Lese-Rechtschreibschwäche, die sie immer wieder vor Herausforderungen stellt. Dafür hat sie Strategien gefunden.Im Gespräch mit Udo Seelhofer erzählt sie, wie sie mit ihrer Legasthenie lebt, wie sie ihre Stärken erarbeitet hat und welche Erfahrungen sie in ihrer Familie mit Autismus gemacht hat. Foto: Anna Marton mit ihrem Hund Fini; Copyright: Udo Seelhofer

Rørt, ramt og rystet. Sådan beskriver en af programmets gæster filmen De Særlige, der - trods det er en fransk film - har været på top ti-listen over mest sete film. Andre er uenige. Kræs stiller skarpt på filmen. Der er også nyt fra kulturen: En ung mand er træt af pikke på museer. Sexdukker, der ligner børn, er et problem, men det er tegneseriesex ikke, forklarer Red Barnet. Og så forvandler en danmarksmester i Poetry slam nyheden om dårlig seksualundervisning til et slam. Medvirkende: Kuno Sørensen, psykolog hos Red Barnet. Heidi Thamestrup, landsformand for Landsforeningen Autisme. Emil Sloth Andersen, debattør. Jakob Vengberg Sevel, museumsinspektør på Aros. Kristine Madsen, poetryslammer. Karen Hein, gruppeleder ved Specialisterne. Vært: Maja Hald.

Everyone has unique skills; everyone is a specialist in something. This is something this week’s guest Thorkil Sonne from Specialisterne understands completely. Specialisterne which translates from Danish as “The Specialists” is an organisation focused on helping young people with additional needs find meaningful employment. The focus is on matching the skills of the individual with the role not trying to make the person fit the job. Specialisterne have also developed a unique approach to assessing the skill of individuals in a way that enables them to showcase their individual skills as well as show how they work in a team. This is in recognition that traditional interview approaches limit the opportunities for young people with additional needs to fully illustrate what they are capable of. Specialisterne also work with employers proactively, to not only help them maximise the skills of their employees but, with practical support around what reasonable adjustments might be necessary in any workplace. Specialisterne also has a much wider purpose than just helping people find work, they are on a mission to show employers how they are missing out on utilising an incredible pool of talented individuals with specialist skills that could give their organisation a competitive advantage.  

Dr. Ellis Crasnow from the STEM³ Academy joins Amanda and Vickie on today’s show. STEM³ is a new school in Orange County, developed by the founders of The Help Group in Los Angeles. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, and is dedicated to K-12 technology-driven students who are bright and curious, with social and/or learning differences. Dr. Crasnow is one of the panelists at the 5th Annual Fundraising Event, “Building the Bridge Between Literacy and the Consequences of Falling Behind”, which will be held Thursday, October 24, 2019. Don’t miss this fascinating conversation! After earning his Ph.D. in philosophy from USC, Dr. Crasnow taught widely at the college level, both in the U.S. and South Africa. He joined The Help Group in 2008, teaching high school math, science and English before becoming Principal of Village Glen High School. In 2012, The Help Group began a STEM program that Dr. Crasnow led. Dr. Crasnow is a frequent international speaker at conferences on the importance of STEM education and its benefit to those with social and learning differences. Dr. Crasnow speaks on the integration of STEM content and social-emotional learning. Show Highlights: Dr. Crasnow shares how going into Special Education seemed one way of combining his passion and education in science, teaching, and psychology, into one. Observing that children weren’t really thriving after high school, they started asking the question, ‘What can we do differently, K-12, which will improve the outcome post-high school?’ Playing to students’ strengths and focusing on their assets, rather than their deficits. In Special Education, most people tend to focus on what the child needs, and what the child can’t do well. That’s putting an enormous amount of effort into perceived weakness or a perceived need, while often ignoring their strengths, their passions, and their interests. This will only make a marginal improvement in a deficit without really accelerating their strengths. Finding out what students’ passions and interests are will draw them in, and so engage them, that their needs, deficits, and weaknesses, become relatively unimportant.  We’re all weak in something.  Don’t go into a field that is an area of weakness for you. Develop your strength and your passion, and that can be a career. Kids with special needs, kids on the spectrum, ADHD - whatever their particular difference is, they nevertheless have extraordinary gifts and talents. Dr. Crasnow discusses the new Netflix documentary, American Factory, and the number of jobs being lost over automation. The struggle of Special Education teachers: underpaid, isolated, and they’re not being supported. Businesses are starting to look at places they haven’t traditionally looked for skilled workers.  “Specialisterne” - Dr. Crasnow talks about a Danish company founded by Thorkil Sonne, a software engineer, whose son is on the spectrum. While looking to employ software engineers for his company, he noticed that many of the same qualities he was looking for, his son possessed. He started the international company, “Specialisterne”, which means “The Specialists”, and they hire people on the spectrum, training them to do quality assurance and software debugging. Those on the spectrum often have superior visual discrimination, and make outstanding workers. There’s a growing, worldwide movement to give a higher profile to individuals with special needs.  Dr. Crasnow gives an overview of STEM³. Students will graduate with a high school diploma and is capable of going to college.   Links/Resources: Thank you for listening!

An expected 500,000 adults with autism are expected to begin seeking employment over the next decade as a tidal wave of young adults with autism age out of school and other programs. A Danish father of an autistic son is leading an effort to create gainful employment opportunities for these gifted individuals. By helping employers to see an employee with autism as having unique personality strengths, especially in information technology settings, Thorkil Sonne is helping to address this growing demographic problem. Sonne launched Specialisterne USA, a nonprofit, to “enable 100,000 jobs in the U.S.” The organization assess, trains and employs individuals with autism in IT and other technically oriented sectors. They report that 80% of their employees are working at corporate partner locations. According to a New York Times article, his work in the U.S. grew out of his success in Denmark. He created Specialisterne there after studying autism for several years as a father. He’d also observed his son’s special abilities and recognized that people with autism can do some tasks better than those without.

Like Autism Live on Facebook at http://facebook.com/autismlive    Autism Dad and entrepreneur, Thorkil Sonne created Specialisterne, a company that is changing the way the world looks at Autism.  After his son was diagnosed with Autism, Thorkil realized that in helping his son he also needed to get the world to shift their perception of Autism.  In doing so, he is changing one of the most challenging aspects of Autism for adults: Employability. Mr. Sonne is helping corporations identify skills they need in their employees that are specifically abundant in the Autism community, then he systematically educates the individuals with ASD to be able to master the components of the job they may be deficient in.  The result is a highly trained employee, a productive member of society and a shift in how we view nurturing talent!     Autism Live is a production of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD), headquartered in Tarzana, California, and with offices throughout, the United States and around the globe.
