Neurodiversity in the workplace

What is Neurodiversity

Neurodiversity is a term that covers a range of cognitive conditions that affect the way people experience the world and make sense of it.  

Around one in seven people is estimated to be neurodivergent so its likely that there are employees with a neurodiverse condition in your workplace.

Because people with neurodivergent conditions think differently to neurotypical people, they can be invaluable to a business, as they may approach situations differently. However, for such people to flourish in the workplace, it may be necessary to provide additional support or make changes to the working environment to accommodate different working styles. 

What are the course aims?

In this training session we will look at different neurodiverse conditions, how they manifest and and how they might affect a person in a regular work environment. 

We’ll look at how the working environment might impact on a person with these conditions and identify what reasonable adjustments an employer might make to create a positive work environment which thrives on its diversity. 

What are the course objectives?

• To identify what neurodiversity is.
• To identify strategies to make your workplace more accessible to neurodivergent team members.
• To identify some reasonable adjustments that make sense for your organisation.

Who is this course for?

The training is suitable for businesses of any size and sector and can be delivered online or face to face depending on resources and preference.
