Neurodiversity: Aware Webinar
The aim of this webinar is to help you develop a clearer understanding of neurodiversity at work with a practical, accessible webinar that helps learners recognise different ways of thinking, communicating, processing and working.
Neurodiversity: Aware Webinar
The Neurodiversity: Aware Webinar is a one-hour online session designed to introduce key neurodiversity concepts and help people better understand how to support neurodivergent colleagues in the workplace and unlock their potential.
This neurodiversity training is a helpful first step for organisations that want to build more inclusive, supportive and confident teams. It explores terminology, common neurodivergent conditions, strengths, myths, communication differences, sensory overload and the positive impact of reasonable adjustments. It supports your learning without the overwhelm, making it a useful foundation for wider neurodiversity inclusion work across your organisation.
What is the Neurodiversity: Aware Webinar?
The Neurodiversity: Aware Webinar is an introductory session that helps learners understand what neurodiversity means and why it matters at work.
Neurodiversity recognises that people think, learn, communicate and process information in different ways. In the workplace, this can influence how people interact, manage tasks, respond to change, experience environments and contribute their strengths.
This webinar helps learners move beyond assumptions and stereotypes. It introduces the main neurodivergent conditions and encourages a more thoughtful understanding of how people may experience work, communication, learning and sensory environments differently.
The session is also a mandatory prerequisite for the Neurodiversity Champion Workshop and Neurodiversity Managers Workshop, making it a strong starting point for organisations planning a wider neuroinclusion pathway.
Who Is This Course For?
A foundational session for everyone in any organisation, from NHS trusts, care homes and social care teams to HR, L&D and frontline staff across construction, retail, finance and tech. This session is a mandatory prerequisite for the Champion and Managers workshops. It is designed as a foundational session for staff across a wide range of sectors and settings, including:
The session is ideal if you want to introduce neurodiversity awareness across a broad group of employees in a clear, practical and accessible way.
It may be particularly useful for organisations that are beginning their neurodiversity inclusion work, preparing staff for more detailed training or wanting to create a shared baseline of understanding before developing workplace support further.
What Will Learners Gain From The Course?
By the end of the Neurodiversity: Aware Webinar, learners will have a clearer understanding of neurodiversity and how it may affect people’s experiences at work.
Learners will explore:
- Key terminology and the concept of neurodiversity
- The main neurodiverse conditions and the strengths commonly associated with each
- Common myths and perception stereotypes around neurodiversity
- How school experiences shape self-esteem and confidence
- The link between unsupported neurodiverse conditions and mental health disorders
- Communication and social challenges faced by neurodiverse individuals
- An introduction to sensory overload
- Why the autism and neurodiversity spectrums aren’t a line to place people on
- The positive impact of reasonable adjustments
The webinar is designed to help learners reflect on how small changes in awareness, communication and support can make a meaningful difference to someone’s experience at work.
It also helps learners understand that neurodiversity inclusion is not about treating everyone in exactly the same way. It is about recognising different needs, reducing unnecessary barriers and creating environments where people are better able to contribute.
The Neurodiversity: Aware Webinar is delivered over one hour.
It is delivered:
- Online
This makes it a flexible option for organisations with remote, hybrid or multi-site teams. Because the session is delivered online, learners can join from different locations while receiving the same clear foundation in neurodiversity awareness.
The webinar is suitable for groups of up to 40 learners.
Changing Minds Training creates a warm and respectful learning environment where neurodiversity can be explored in a way that feels practical, inclusive and supportive.
What does the webinar cover?
The Neurodiversity: Aware Webinar introduces learners to the key areas that support better understanding of neurodiversity in the workplace.
The session includes:
Understanding neurodiversity
Learners are introduced to key terminology and the concept of neurodiversity. This helps create a shared language for talking about different ways of thinking, learning, communicating and processing information.
Common neurodivergent conditions
The webinar explores the main neurodivergent conditions and the strengths commonly associated with each. This helps learners move away from deficit-based thinking and recognise that neurodivergent people can bring valuable strengths, perspectives and skills.
Myths and stereotypes
Learners reflect on common myths and stereotypes around neurodiversity. This is an important part of building more inclusive workplaces, as assumptions can affect communication, confidence, support and belonging.
Confidence, self-esteem and lived experience
The session explores how school experiences can shape self-esteem and confidence. This can help learners understand why some neurodivergent people may arrive in the workplace with previous experiences that affect how they ask for support, respond to feedback or approach new tasks.
Mental health and unsupported needs
Learners are introduced to the link between unsupported neurodivergent conditions and mental health disorders. This is approached carefully, with a focus on awareness and the importance of supportive environments.
Communication and sensory needs
The webinar explores communication and social challenges, as well as an introduction to sensory overload. This helps learners understand why some environments, expectations or communication styles may create barriers for neurodivergent colleagues.
Reasonable adjustments
The session looks at the positive impact of reasonable adjustments. Learners are encouraged to think practically about how changes to communication, environment or ways of working can help reduce barriers and support inclusion.
What Will Learners Receive?
Learners will receive a focused one-hour online learning session that introduces neurodiversity in a clear, accessible and practical way.
The session supports learners to develop a shared foundation of understanding, including key terminology, common neurodivergent conditions, communication differences, sensory needs and the role of reasonable adjustments.
