What is classified as a Learning Difficulty Vs Learning Disability – and what are the differences?
How to recognise the signs associated with Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, ADD, ADHD and Autism (ASD)

ADHD: Coping Mechanisms and Co-Conditions

ADD and ADHD are both brain-based conditions that affect people’s ability to stay focused on things like work tasks, social interactions and everyday activities.

They tend to be more curious, creative, imaginative, innovative, and inventive. In this workshop, learn how to nurture and support these traits amongst your employees with ADD / ADHD.

Deep dive into Neurodiversity at Work

Building on our foundation in "Introduction to Neurodiversity," let's delve deeper into two crucial aspects of fostering a truly inclusive work environment:

1. Reasonable Adjustments: Understanding and Implementation

2. Building a Supportive Culture for Neurodiversity

Autism and Supporting Autistic Employees

Affecting 1-2% of the adults in the UK, autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how people perceive the world and interact with others. People with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can find the workplace difficult for several reasons, generally related to difficulties with communication, social skills and sensory sensitivity.

However, there is plenty organisations can do to help their autistic employees thrive.

“The course is useful as I have a better understanding of various mental health issues and felt I communicated better with people around me who may be struggling with such issues. I learnt to read the cues of those around me better. John’s way of teaching involved sharing some of his experiences, which complemented the course. His approach to complex issues showed me anyone can be a mental health first aider.”

F Gordon - Director

“We commissioned John to deliver workshops to a group of neurodiverse trainees to support their journey in the workplace and with neurodiversity generally. John was flexible with the ideas we had for the workshops and used various online tools to engage participants. Most importantly created a safe space for participants to discuss their experiences and shared his knowledge and experiences in an open and supportive way.”
