Neurodiversity 101

A foundational introduction to neurodiversity — what it means, why it matters, and how it shapes the way people think, communicate, and work.

This session explores the social model of disability, the diversity of Autistic, ADHD, and other neurodivergent experiences, and how everyday assumptions can unintentionally exclude people.

I use plain language, personal examples, and practical reflection activities to help participants build confidence and understanding.

Perfect for teams beginning their inclusion journey or organisations wanting to strengthen awareness and empathy across their workforce.

Duartion: 30 minutes - 1 hour.

She is smiling while sitting at her desk, with a presentation slide on the monitor behind her reading “Part 3: Supporting Neurodivergent Students.” The setting appears to be a home office with a laptop, glass of water, and colourful items in the background.

Neuro-Inclusion in the Workplace

This workshop helps organisations create environments where neurodivergent people can thrive, not just be accommodated.

Each session is tailored to your organisation, reflecting your workplace culture, priorities and team needs. Drawing on my lived experience as an Autistic, disabled professional and my work across national policy and reform, I guide teams through the fundamentals of neurodiversity and the principles of neuro-inclusion — from recruitment and workplace design to communication, leadership and culture.

Participants will learn practical, relevant strategies for inclusive language, adjustments and organisational change, grounded in both evidence and real-world experience.

Ideal for managers, HR professionals and diversity leads who want to move beyond compliance toward genuine inclusion and lasting cultural change.

Duartion: 1.5 - 3 hours.

Bespoke Workshops

Looking for something different? I also design and deliver bespoke workshops tailored to your organisation’s focus or project.

I’ve developed and facilitated sessions on a wide range of topics — including the NDIS, gender-based violence, disability inclusion, human rights frameworks, and inclusive policy design.

Each workshop is co-designed to meet your needs, whether you’re seeking professional development for staff, stakeholder engagement, or sector-specific training that connects policy with practice.
