  • To label or not – that is the question?
  • Why taking a person centred approach?
  • Developing a whole organisational approach to support
  • Practical strategies: for education/ training /and work settings – for managers/trainers and for the person.

    • We can also provide specific training about Dyslexia,Dyscalculia,DCD(Dyspraxia),ADHD,Autism Spectrum Disorder, Developmental Language Disorder and Tourette’s Syndrome.

    Neurodiversity Aware® Training and Accreditation Programme

     

    The Neurodiversity Aware® Training and Accreditation Programme is an accredited programme for those wanting to gain a greater understanding of supporting people who have neuro-divergent ‘conditions’ in a workplace perspective including those with:

    • Dyslexia
    • Dyspraxia/Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)
    • Dyscalculia
    • Autism Spectrum Condition/Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASC/ASD)
    • Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)
    • ADHD

    Completion of the course and work associated with it, leads to an OCN Level 4 qualification.

    The Neurodiversity Aware® training course provides the last remaining jigsaw piece for employers in the puzzle that is ‘neurodiversity’ and provides individuals and their employing organisations with an appreciation of the big ‘multi-dimensional’ picture of neurodiversity from a workplace perspective and equips them to bring about positive change to ensure the right processes are in place in the future.

     

    Taking a proactive approach to providing appropriate support, when it is needed, increases the chances for employing organisations being able to tap into the strengths and talents.
    It is also indicative of a caring and supportive workplace in which people can feel safe to seek support if they need it.

    Course leaders are Professor Amanda Kirby, and Janette Beetham from Right Resources.
