    Getting a Diagnosis

Section 1

In the opening section of this course, we look at the definition of neurodiversity, what this means to an individual, and the different types of neurodivergence.

We also explore some of the misconceptions around neurodiversity, and the stigma and lack of support for neurodistinct people.

Section 2

This section has a focus on a few of the most common neurodivergent identities that exist within our communities, including the three neurodivergent groups – clinical, applied and acquired.

Section 3

Section 3 covers Neurodiversity at Work and how understanding and being aware of neurodivergence can help individuals to thrive and remove obstacles or challenges. This includes a focus on the 'social model' and 'strengths-based model' that help us to understand how to better support employees and enable them to succeed.

We look into the legal protections that exist for neurodivergent people and the social and financial support available.

Section 4

The final section of the course covers the processes in getting a diagnosis when individuals show signs of neurodiversity. This includes the research, speaking with medical professionals and evaluations.

We look further into what it can mean to have a diagnosis, and the impact this can have on individuals both at work and in their home life.

About this course

Neurodiversity celebrates the gift of uniqueness and independent thought. Along with it comes new ideas, out-of-the-box thinking, and many ways of approaching challenges and solving problems. Neurodivergent colleagues bring highly valuable qualities to the team – but many workplaces fail to support their needs which means neither party is able to flourish as much as they could.

This course offers crucial information for everyone on what neurodiversity is and the benefits it brings to work. It also explores the varied nature of neurodivergent minds, how to best support neurodivergent colleagues, and how to create an inclusive work environment.

In developing the course, we worked alongside Waymakers for their advice, input, and consultancy – they work to improve opportunities and outcomes for autistic people aged 14+, their employers, and others working with them.

Information overload

A very informative and information packed course. Perhaps a bit too much information in one go. Well worth studying though. It would be good to have access to this information after the course has been completed.

The course is well documented & explained easily in the video presentation.

As explained above the Neurodiversity Awareness, it was well presented and delivered by your speaker. It certainly gave me insight and was informative on the subject. Well done. [R Bagley OSG]

It was a good course, but I don't think the test was neuro-inclusive

I think the questions should be asked and answered in a variety of ways because not all students are the same. I have ADHD and some autistic traits and though I scored 100% I know the field very well and I think it would be less appropriate to some of the clients my company serves.

User-friendly

Useful overview, well-pitched for general consumption

I am already quite aware of some aspects of the topic as my niece has an ASD diagnosis. It is quite hard to keep up with the correct terminology, but the fundamentals of treating people as individuals and making adjustments for their needs will never change!

Enlightening

An interesting course with pleasingly colourful graphics. Unfortunately it was let down by the audio and the image, which were out of sync and made it harder to follow.
