Practical neurodiversity training for staff-facing roles
NeuroFriendly delivers clear, practical training to help staff better understand and support neurodivergent people in everyday workplace and customer-facing situations.
Training is designed to build confidence, reduce misunderstandings, and support more effective interactions — without jargon, judgement, or unrealistic expectations.
What the training covers
Sessions are tailored to staff-facing environments and typically include:
- An overview of neurodiversity and common neurodivergent conditions
- Autism, ADHD, PDA, sensory processing differences and dyslexia
- How environments, communication and expectations can create barriers
- Common misconceptions and unhelpful responses
- Practical adjustments that make an immediate difference
- What helps in real situations — and what to avoid
The focus is always on real-world understanding and usable strategies, not theory or clinical detail.
How the training is delivered
- Duration: 60–90 minutes
- Format: Online or in person
- Style: Interactive, discussion-led, practical
- Group size: Suitable for small teams or larger staff groups
