Neurodiversity Training for Employees
A practical four-day programme designed to help neurodivergent employees understand how they work best, develop strategies for managing workplace challenges and confidently access the support, adjustments and resources available to them.
Neurodivergent Employees Should Not Have to Work Everything Out Alone
Neurodivergence can affect people differently. The aim of this programme is not to tell someone how they should work. It helps employees better understand their own needs, recognise their strengths and develop practical approaches that work for them.
Staying organised, managing priorities or maintaining focus can sometimes feel overwhelming.
Develop practical ways of working.
Explore approaches to organisation, prioritisation, time management, focus and executive functioning that can be adapted around individual needs.
Sensory overload, workplace stress or emotional demands can affect concentration and wellbeing.
Understand triggers and develop coping strategies.
Learners explore practical approaches to sensory needs, stress, resilience and workplace environments so they can identify what may support them more effectively.
You may be unsure whether to tell your employer about your neurodivergence or how to explain what you need.
Make informed decisions about disclosure.
The programme explores disclosure choices, workplace communication and how employees can describe barriers and support needs constructively.
You know you work differently but may not know what support, technology or adjustments could help.
Explore the support that is available.
Learners consider assistive technology, workplace adjustments, external resources and DWP Access to Work so they can make more informed choices.
Understanding Your Neurodivergence in the Workplace
Neurodiversity describes the natural variation in how people think, process information, communicate, focus, learn and experience their environment.
This programme is designed for employees who identify as neurodivergent or recognise neurodivergent traits. A formal diagnosis is not required to take part.
The four-day course creates space to explore both the strengths and challenges associated with individual neurodivergent experiences and to identify strategies that may make working life more manageable and productive.
This can include autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and other forms of neurodivergence. The emphasis is not on forcing employees to work in one particular way, but on understanding individual working preferences, barriers and support needs.

More Than Neurodiversity Awareness
The programme is designed to help employees translate understanding into practical changes they can use in their own working lives.

Recognise individual strengths, working preferences and barriers instead of measuring yourself against one assumed way of working.
Develop Practical Strategies
Explore approaches to organisation, focus, sensory needs, communication and workplace routines that can be adapted personally.
Access the Right Support
Understand where additional support may be available and become more confident discussing workplace needs.
Supporting People to Work in Ways That Enable Them to Perform
For Employees
Gain greater understanding of how your neurodivergence may influence your working style, communication, organisation and wellbeing.
Develop practical strategies based around your own needs rather than being given a generic list of techniques.
Build confidence discussing workplace barriers and the types of support or adjustments that may help.
Explore external support, including Access to Work, assistive technology and routes towards diagnosis where that is something you wish to pursue.
For Organisations
Give neurodivergent employees practical development that helps them understand how to use their strengths and manage workplace barriers more effectively.
Better-informed employees may be more able to explain what support they need, helping managers have clearer and more constructive workplace conversations.
Supporting individual working needs can contribute to employee engagement, retention, wellbeing and more inclusive workplace practice.
The programme can form part of a wider organisational approach to neuroinclusion alongside manager training, policy development and workplace adjustments.
Understanding DWP Access to Work
The programme includes guidance on the Department for Work and Pensions Access to Work scheme and the types of practical support that may be available to eligible employees.
Rather than simply telling learners that support exists, the course helps them think about the barriers they experience in their particular role and what types of support may be relevant.
- Understanding what Access to Work is
- Considering workplace barriers
- Assistive technology and specialist tools
- Workplace assessments and support
- Preparing to explain individual needs
- Identifying other local and online support services
