Disability Awareness & Neurodiversity Training
This is the first training programme in Ireland which combines disability awareness and neurodiversity awareness training to help organisations build more inclusive workplace cultures. Delivery is via our Live Online Instructor Led Format over 2.5-hours and split into two separate sessions. There is a 15-minute screen break between Session 1 & Session 2. Onsite delivery can also be facilitated on request.
Our training facilitators focus on disability awareness for the first session. In this session we look at barriers to inclusion, social model of disability, diversity with disability and respectful communication. After the break the second session focuses on creating greater awareness of neurodivergence in the workplace. Particular focus is placed on supporting autistic colleagues while also exploring ADHD, dyslexia, and other neurodivergent conditions. We also look at reasonable accommodations and key workplace communication tips.
90% of the cost of training is covered through the Work and Access Scheme to complete this training. This scheme applies to private sector, community based, not for profit and voluntary sector groups.
This programme can also be delivered on site on request.
