This new Into Work course is similar to our popular Autism Works! training. This new course will provide a broader overview of neurodivergence including ADHD, Autism, Dyscalculia, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and Tourette’s. The course covers:

• What is Neurodiversity?
• What does a neurodivergent person experience?
• Neurodivergent inclusive work environments
• Neurodivergent inclusive recruitment
• Continuing to thrive: retention and career progression
• Resources and sources of support
• What can you do?

Purpose of training: to equip employers to understand the diverse capabilities and skill-sets neurodivergent individuals can bring to their workforce, and to build confidence in recruiting, retaining and promoting neurodivergent staff.

By the end of this course learners will have

• Increased understanding of what is currently known about neurodivergence and how neurodivergent people experience their workplace
• Ability to distinguish common myths and misconceptions about neurodivergent people from facts
• Understanding of the key benefits of building an inclusive work environment and work practices
• Increased knowledge of reasonable adjustments and measures to create more neurodivergent-friendly work environments and practices
• Increased confidence in recruiting and managing neurodivergent staff and knowledge of sources of further information and support.
