Feedback
“Everything was tailored, engaging, and all learning was culturally inclusive. It was fantastic to bring everyone together on an international level.”
– Marni Levett, Global Education Partner and Neurodiversity Group Chair @ Arcadis
“I feel so much more confident leading my team. I didn’t know there was a right or wrong way to respond to disclosure, let alone how to implement support and navigatete our legal requirements. I can’t recommend National Neurodiversity Training enough.”
– Ross Barrow, Chief Technology Officer @ Data Literacy Academy
“The training has better equipped me for my role by giving me some really practical tips. I would absolutely recommend the training to others. I think it’s been really valuable.”

Activity overview
In 2025, 13% of UK businesses faced neurodiversity-related tribunals - a 79% increase from 2024.
On top of that, 50% of neurodivergent employees are actively considering leaving due to lack of support. We're seeing managers want to support but are scared of saying the wrong thing. Meanwhile, HR and DEI teams face mounting disclosure requests or pressure to provide guidance.
National Neurodiversity Training works with industry leaders to turn neurodiversity into business success.
We've partnered with organisations like Arcadis, NHS, and HSBC to deliver full-scale neurodiversity programs that achieve measurable results: average 3-4x higher disclosure rates, 75% improvement in manager confidence, and a 45% boost in psychological safety. With the right support, neurodiverse teams are 30% more productive, but without it, you risk compliance failures, talent loss, and missed opportunity.
This 1-hour live virtual session is designed for businesses beginning their neurodiversity journey. We'll cover the fundamentals: what neurodiversity means at work, common strengths and challenges, key terminology, and how neurodivergence impacts employees and team performance. You'll understand the business and legal case for neurodiversity, and leave with actionable next steps. Whether you're hosting 10 or 100s of leaders, we'll create an engaging, interactive, and a tailored experience that meets your audience where they are!
This session works as a standalone initiative or a springboard for deeper transformation. For companies ready to embed sustainable behavioural hange, we offer comprehensive programs designed around your strategic objectives. But if you're exploring what's possible or need a cost-effective way to build foundational awareness, this session is the right place to start, and we're excited to work with you!
