What comes under the banner of Neurodiversity?
Neurodiversity includes Autism, ADHD, ADD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dyspraxia, Dysgraphia and other conditions. 
Allow flexibility and creative engagement with induction and on-boarding. Discuss and agree on identified training needs and time frames. Ensure the immediate supervisor or line manager understands the workplace adjustments and support required to best enable the employee in the context of their neurodiversity.
Just because someone is diagnosed or has symptoms which come under Neurodiversity, it does not mean you can find a way to communicate and behave towards them all. 
We make reasonable adjustments to help people with all sorts of different needs. For those with a sore back, we may ensure they can have the right chair. Perhaps, like my sister, they are partially sighted, so you may offer speech-to-text technology on their PC and various accommodations for those who use a wheelchair, and so on. 
These are just a few of the many things that considerate and inclusive organisations do for their colleagues.



LENGTH - Normally, one day. But please contact us to discuss your specific needs, or we can offer advice.  
NEXT WORKSHOP START - Please ask for more information as we deliver bespoke closed events for your people at your location or a mutually suitable location.
WORKSHOP DELIVERY - The best environment for this workshop is face-to-face, but we can facilitate this workshop online.



Suitability - Who should attend?
Who Should Attend and Why?
Who? 
Anyone who is self-motivated enough to want to help their neurodiverse (ND) colleagues. Some of our colleagues will have what is often described as a hidden disability. By understanding their possible challenges, how those challenges can impact them, and how they get stressed when colleagues don’t know or understand (or empathise with) their challenges. The smallest things you do after this workshop will make a big difference to people. 
Why? 
Because we ALL should be interested in helping all of our colleagues. 
Regardless of who we work with or for, we must all do everything we can to work well together and build and maintain excellent working relationships. 
When we truly understand things from the perspective of others (our Moccasin Approach®), we are far better able to communicate and work with them effectively and efficiently. 
We also need to be aware of the relevant laws (Equality Act 2010) and how we can ensure that we all make reasonable adjustments and support all our colleagues regardless of differences. 
Our Neurodiversity Awareness workshops enable all colleagues, regardless of hierarchical titles or positions, to become more aware of the possible needs of their colleagues who may be impacted by neurodiverse challenges. 
Workshop Content
All our Autism Awareness days are facilitated by our Managing Director Mac Macdonald, who is diagnosed as autistic, has PTSD and deals with hypervigilance. 
What language should we use, and why does it matter?
What neurological differences come under the umbrella term neurodiversity?
Why do many people struggle to work with, get on with or manage/lead someone who is neurodiverse?
We have a short video for you to watch about neurodiversity.
ND card activity. We ask participants to work in small groups to discuss the ND cards we hand out.
Mac shares some of his challenges, what triggers him, why he can sometimes upset others, and what he tries to do to manage.
We discuss common strengths that some neurodiverse people possess but others don’t.
We look at common challenges that ND people can face at work and ask you to discuss possible solutions and what “reasonable adjustments” could be made to help them.
We explore “Reasonable Adjustments” and ask you to see different perspectives.
We chat about Intersectionality, Allyship, Equality vs Equity and our Moccasin Approach®.
Workshop delivery and venue
When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.
Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice or, if you wish, a central UK location, such as the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.
We can deliver our workshops, courses and programmes online, although this will mean splitting elements into manageable learning events to suit the online environment.
