Neuroaffirming Workplace Training & Speaking
With Katie Andrews, AuDHD Psychotherapist, Educator & Founder of The Neurodivergent Therapy Space
Moving Beyond Neurodiversity Awareness
Creating a genuinely neuroinclusive workplace requires more than understanding what autism and ADHD are. It requires organisations to examine how their working environments, communication practices and expectations can unintentionally create barriers for neurodivergent employees.
Led by Katie Andrews, autistic and ADHD psychotherapist, educator and Founder of The Neurodivergent Therapy Space, our workplace training combines professional expertise with lived experience to challenge outdated assumptions and support meaningful organisational change.
Through engaging, evidence-informed training, we help managers, HR professionals and organisational leaders better understand masking, sensory overwhelm, burnout and the importance of creating working environments that accommodate different ways of thinking, communicating and processing information.
Our approach moves beyond asking neurodivergent employees to adapt to their workplaces and instead explores how workplaces can become more accessible to the people within them.
Beyond Awareness: Creating Neuroaffirming Workplaces
A practical, interactive workshop for HR professionals, managers and organisational leaders.
Many organisations are becoming increasingly aware of neurodiversity, yet awareness alone doesn't necessarily translate into accessible workplace practices.
Autistic and ADHD employees may continue to experience barriers relating to communication expectations, sensory environments, workplace culture and traditional measures of productivity.
This 90-minute workshop explores how these barriers can contribute to masking, overwhelm and burnout, and what organisations can do to create more inclusive working environments.
What the workshop explores
-
Understanding autism and ADHD beyond stereotypes - recognising different presentations, individual experiences and the impact of masking
-
Identifying workplace barriers - exploring how sensory environments, communication expectations and organisational practices can create unnecessary difficulties
-
Recognising masking and burnout - understanding how workplace pressures can affect neurodivergent employees and why distress is not always visible
-
Challenging traditional workplace expectations - reconsidering assumptions about professionalism, productivity, communication and performance
-
Creating meaningful adjustments - practical approaches to accessible communication, flexible working practices and collaborative support
