NEURODIVERSITY TRAINING FOR EMPLOYERS, CHARITIES AND PUBLIC BODIES
Neurodiversity training for managers and teams.
Most teams already include neurodivergent colleagues, whether or not anyone has said so. We run practical, live workshops that help managers and teams understand neurodivergence, have better conversations, and make the everyday adjustments that let people do their best work.

Training usually starts with a specific need. We shape the sessions around yours.
When organisations come to us
Building awareness across a team
A shared, practical understanding of neurodiversity, so colleagues work well together and know what helps.
Supporting a colleague
Following a diagnosis or an occupational health referral, helping the team and manager understand what support looks like day to day.
Teams who serve the public
Staff whose role involves supporting customers, clients or service users who may be neurodivergent or have other accessibility needs.
Giving managers confidence
Handling adjustments, one-to-ones, feedback and performance conversations well, and knowing when to seek further advice.

Every programme is tailored. Topics are drawn from:
Recruitment and onboarding
Sensory needs and the working environment
What neurodivergence is: autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and more
