Where Every Mind Belongs

Neurodiversity is human diversity and it makes us stronger.

At Divergent Thinking, we help organisations embrace different ways of thinking and working. Our approach blends lived experience and neuroscience to create workplaces where every mind belongs and every voice adds value.

Understanding Neurodiversity 

Neurodiversity refers to the natural variation in how people experience and interact with the world. It includes, but is not limited to, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, Autism, and ADHD.

Cognitive diversity

There is not one 'right' way to think, learn, sense, or communicate.

Population Insight

Around 1 in 5 people are neurodivergent across all teams, roles, and sectors.

Our Services

From first conversation to follow-through, we support people, teams, and systems.

Workshops & Webinars

Engaging, evidence-based neurodiversity sessions that equip teams to hire fairly, give better feedback, run inclusive workplaces, and apply neurodiverse practices that last.

Workplace Assessments & Screening
