Improving understanding about neurodiversity for a more inclusive workplace
NEURODIVERSITY AWARENESS...
How does this course help your business?
This engaging drama-based course, delivered face to face, virtually or digitally, supports employees of all levels to improve their knowledge about neurodiversity.
By raising learner awareness, providing a safe space to answer questions, and encouraging everyone to reflect on how their ways of working can be more inclusive for all, the workshop supports improved understanding across the employee population.
Using drama based simulations, which can be tailored to your business, we explore the impact of common workplace barriers and strategies to minimise these to provide an environment and service which is inclusive for everyone.

Why this course?
When people lack understanding & awareness, differences in communication, behaviour and ways of working can easily be misunderstood, creating barriers for individuals, teams and customers, and sometimes leading to frustration or disengagement.
In this course, learners will explore what neurodiversity is, building their awareness and helping them recognise how to create a more inclusive environment that enables colleagues to perform at their best and peers and customers to feel understood and supported.
Our Neurodiversity Awareness course is highly practical and interactive. Using discussion, reflection and realistic drama-based workplace scenarios, learners develop their understanding, share best practice and take away key tools that they can apply immediately in their day-to-day roles.
What does it cover?
Our Neurodiversity Awareness course explains different terminology, types of neurodivergence and also explores some common myths about neurodiversity.
We use our unique drama scenes to explore common workplace and service barriers, and the impact these can have – this section can be tailored to your organisation and specific ways of working, services, customers etc and can be internal or external scenarios. We’ll work through suggested approaches and practical strategies to minimise these barriers, with a focus on changes that ensure everyone is catered for, work with our actors to see how these can work in practice, and commit to next steps and actions to move forwards.
How do we do it?
In our Neurodiversity Awareness course, our expert trainers share their own knowledge and life experiences, facilitating discussions that encourage learners to ask questions and improve their understanding. We encourage a mindset of curiosity, rather than judgement, encouraging learners to avoid making assumptions, and to think about behaviours and barriers rather than individuals.
We use drama-based learning to simulate real world scenarios which can create challenges and barriers for Neurodivergent people. Our professional actors bring these moments to life, allowing learners to reflect and seek understanding in a safe, supportive environment.
Learning Outcomes.

WHY IS THIS COURSE IMPORTANT?
When your people don’t understand neurodiversity, differences in communication, behaviour and ways of working can be misread or overlooked, negatively impacting relationships, inclusion and performance.
By training your people in Neurodiversity Awareness, you’re equipping them with valuable knowledge and practical strategies they can use in a variety of professional settings – be it working more effectively with colleagues, leading and supporting team members, improving customer interactions or creating a more inclusive culture where everyone can thrive.
An eye-opening learning experience, good level of interaction and interesting conversations. Love the drama scenes to bring neurodivergent people’s experiences to life.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT NEURODIVERSITY AWARENESS
Is this course just for managers?
Not at all. While managers and leaders will gain practical tools to better support their teams, this course is aimed at all employees.
Is there role play?
No, we don’t do role play! Our drama-based approach uses realistic workplace scenarios to make the learning engaging, practical and memorable. Learners aren’t put on the spot; instead, they’re encouraged to observe, reflect and explore different approaches in a safe, supportive environment.
Can the training be tailored to our organisation?
Yes. We can tailor the training to reflect your organisation, your people and the real-life situations they face.
Do learners need any prior knowledge of neurodiversity?
No prior knowledge is needed. The course is designed to be accessible and relevant for everyone, whether they are completely new to the topic or looking to deepen their understanding.
What is drama-based learning?
Drama-based learning brings workplace challenges to life through realistic, facilitated scenarios. It gives people the chance to see situations in context, and to appreciate the impact of behaviours and processes. It’s immersive, interactive and designed to make learning stick.
How does it contribute to a more inclusive culture?
Greater awareness leads to better understanding — and better understanding leads to more inclusive behaviour. This course helps people recognise and value different ways of thinking, communicating and working, reducing misunderstanding and creating a stronger sense of belonging.
