By creating environments where neurodivergent people can thrive, and where strengths and diversity are embraced, organisations build a more positive, inclusive, and productive work culture.

This new interactive course raises awareness of neurodivergence in the workplace, with a primary focus on ADHD and autism, but will also touch on dyslexia and other neurodivergent conditions.

Delivered through a strengths-based lens, participants will gain insight into how to foster a neuro-inclusive culture.  The course includes practical strategies, tools for inclusive line management, employer’s legal responsibilities, and guidance on reasonable adjustments.

Led by Elizabeth Freeman, a neurodivergent professional and expert in inclusive practice, this course draws on lived experience and professional expertise.

This course will support you to: 

• Understand key concepts and terminology around neurodivergence
• Recognise the strengths neurodivergent individuals can bring to the workplace
• Identify common challenges and potential barriers to inclusion
• Explore reasonable adjustments and inclusive practices that enable neurodivergent employees to thrive
• Reference the NHS Independent Taskforce report on ADHD published in June 2025
• Understand employers’ legal obligations under the Equality Act 2010 regarding neurodivergence
• Create action plans to build a more inclusive team culture
