Build understanding. Foster psychological safety. Make real inclusion happen.

At Think Neurodiversity, our Neurodiversity Training is built for real-world teams — blending lived experience, clinical insight, and evidence-based strategies. We've delivered training to thousands of people across the private and public sectors with consistent results and impact.

 

This isn’t just about awareness. We equip your people to understand what they need to be positive advocates, allies and to support and collaborate with their neurodivergent colleagues with confidence.

​

We offer expert-led neurodiversity awareness training for everyone in your organisation  and tailor content to the delegates specific needs after a thorough consultation.

​

It has to be a Top down approach to work.
​

In our experience for neurodiversity awareness training to work and for a real lasting cultural change the process has to start with speaking to your Executive team, Senior Leadership team and key decision makers.

​

Once we've helped them understand the very tangible business benefits, cost savings and reasons why investing in our training is good business sense can we be sure that the messages we deliver to the organisation will be championed by those with influence.

​

We also believe in training HR and People teams before anyone else as these key team members need very different and specific education to enable them to support managers and other colleagues once they've been trained as well.
