COURSE OVERVIEW

Neurodiversity is part of every workplace — whether it’s recognised or not. But without understanding and flexibility, neurodivergent people often face barriers that affect their wellbeing, confidence, and performance. 

This Neurodiversity And Inclusion In The Workplace training builds awareness and practical confidence. You’ll explore how different brains work, how to reduce everyday barriers, and how to talk about neurodiversity in a respectful and helpful way. 

The session is clear, interactive, and built for organisations who want to move from good intentions to everyday inclusion.

Training Format and Duration

Our Neurodiversity and Inclusion in the Workplace training is:

  • Interactive and honest

  • Designed to reduce discomfort and build confidence

  • Tailored to your team, roles, and organisational context

This is a 3-hour course, ideal for building awareness and practical understanding without overload. It covers key concepts around neurodiversity, inclusive communication, and small but powerful workplace adjustments. The session is designed to help teams think differently, challenge assumptions, and walk away with tools they can apply immediately.

 

We strongly recommend in-person delivery. Being in the room helps create a more engaging, supportive, and focused environment. Group discussions, real-world examples, and reflective activities land better face-to-face — building understanding and empathy in a more impactful way.

  •  Delivered in-person across Scotland (preferred) or online if needed
  • Recommended group size: 8–12 participants
