Planning a neurodiversity awareness event? Focus on one meaningful barrier to address, involve neurodivergent people in ways that are voluntary and appropriately supported, ensure the activity is accessible, and assign clear ownership with a review date to maintain momentum. For organisations looking to create lasting change beyond a single awareness event, Divergent Thinking offers neurodivergent-led workshops, manager training, keynote talks, and workplace audits designed to turn awareness into practical, sustainable action.
