A corporate neurodiversity workshop
Neurodiversity refers to the different ways the brain can work and interpret information. It is estimated that 1 in 7 people (more than 15% of people in the UK) are neurodivergent, meaning that the brain functions, learns and processes information differently.
As awareness of neurodiversity grows, workplaces are being urged to consider how they can accommodate and make space for neurodivergent individuals to thrive. Most forms of Neurodivergence are defined on a spectrum and include Attention Deficit Disorders, Autism, Dyslexia and Dyspraxia. Rather than a hindrance or a disability, these can be considered ‘superpowers’ that give individuals and organisations a competitive edge – if nurtured in the correct way.
What to expect
In this 60 minute neurodiversity workshop, learn more about neurodivergence, the benefits for organisations, and how to support neurodivergent people to be comfortable and successful at work. Discover:
- What is classified as a Learning Difficulty Vs Learning Disability – and what are the differences?
- How to recognise the signs associated with Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, ADD, ADHD and Autism (ASD)
- How to best support neurodiverse individuals in your workplace and reasonable, practical adjustments to accommodate their needs.

A Deep Dive in to Autism and Supporting Autistic Employees
Affecting 1-2% of the adults in the UK, autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how people perceive the world and interact with others. People with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can find the workplace difficult for a number of reasons, generally related to difficulties with communication, social skills and sensory sensitivity. However, there is plenty organisations can do to help their autistic employees thrive.
ADHD: Coping Mechanisms and Co-Conditions
ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ) are both brain-based conditions that affect people’s ability to stay focused on things like work tasks, social interactions and everyday activities. People with ADD and ADHD also tend to be more curious, creative, imaginative, innovative, and inventive. In this workshop, learn how to nurture and support these traits amongst your employees with ADD / ADHD.
Designing an Accessible Recruitment Process
How accessible is your recruitment process? Does it cater for neurodiverse candidates who may struggle with the traditional selection process? Failing to evolve your recruitment strategy to a more inclusive process means you’re missing out on a whole pool of exceptional talent found amongst neurodiverse individuals. In this session, learn how to ensure every stage of your recruitment process appeals to an inclusive audience and caters to neurodivergent thinking.
