Neurodiversity Works! training course: November 2026
Our Neurodiversity Works! training course, delivered online over three sessions, is aimed at anyone who is responsible for managing staff and recruitment or developing organisational policies and practice. The course is also suitable for individuals interested in making their own work practices and teams more inclusive.
These interactive sessions are informed by lived experience of neurodiversity and are delivered by our talented neurodivergent trainers.
The course will help you to develop best practice when recruiting and supporting neurodivergent staff and to create a more inclusive and welcoming work environment for all colleagues.
The course is delivered via Zoom over three sessions.
These are £145 for private and public sector organisations, and £125 for local charities.
