Neurodiversity Training.
Find out how your organisation can create and promote a thriving neurodiverse workplace based on our lived experience.
Australian Spatial Analytics (ASA) is a leader in empowering neurodiversity in the workplace - 80% of our 130+ staff are neurodivergent (e.g. autism, ADHD, dyslexia). Sharing that experience, we offer a unique training program to empower organisations to unlock and embrace the full potential of a neurodiverse workforce.
Why should you invest in neurodiversity training?
Your organisation has more neurodivergent members than you realise. Unfortunately, many are uncomfortable disclosing their neurodivergence based on previous negative experiences in the workplace.
By investing in neurodiversity training, your organisation is taking a significant step towards building a more inclusive and effective workplace. You can help break down the barriers that prevent neurodivergent people from gaining and maintaining professional employment. Our program equips your team with the knowledge and skills to create a neuroinclusive environment where everyone can thrive and contribute their unique talents.
Studies have shown that neurodivergent people bring a wealth of benefits to the workplace, including:
Enhanced problem-solving
Strong analytical skills
Increased innovation
Improved employee engagement
Our neurodiversity training is available in two ways:
Standalone training program
Any organisation looking to promote awareness and build a more inclusive and neurodiverse workplace can access our training modules directly.
ASA Talent Services
As part of our Talent Services offering, where we embed our talented staff into other organisations, this training supports the onboarding process for our candidates and partner client teams. Organisations where we’ve conducted this training include Acciona Engineering and Design, Ventia and the Department of Resources (Queensland).
ASA’s Neurodiversity in the Workplace Training Program
Our comprehensive training consists of four modules designed to build a strong foundation for understanding and supporting neurodiversity in your workplace. Our training experience is drawn from within; our modules share real case studies from our neurodivergent team members and their leaders. Although many previously struggled to find long-term secure work before commencing at ASA, they now thrive in a supported neuroinclusive environment. We can coordinate face-to-face sessions at your workplace or online across Australia.
Our Modules
Module 1:
Neurodiversity Awareness
Duration: 1 hour
This introductory module provides a broad overview of neurodiversity, including:
- Definitions and neurodivergent variances (e.g., autism, ADHD, dyslexia)
- Exploration of neurodivergent experiences in theworkplace
- How neurodivergence can present at work
- How a neuroinclusive work environment helps everyone
Leading and Supporting a Neuroinclusive Workplace Package
Duration: 4.5 hours
Modules 2-4 are offered both as individual modules or as a package designed to follow Module 1. It is highly recommended that Module 1 be completed first to set the context. These facilitated workshops equip leaders and members of neurodiverse teams with practical strategies for fostering a thriving neuroinclusive workplace. Modules include:
Module 2:
Neuroinclusive Communication
Duration: 1.5 hours
This session helps to recognise (and challenge) what is generally assumed throughout traditional workplace communication and addresses how we can communicate effectively across a neurodiverse work environment.
Module 3:
Anxiety, Neurodivergence and the Work Environment
Duration: 1.5 hours
In this session, we address anxiety and how it can occur and explore ways to circumvent or reduce its impact on individuals and the workplace.
Module 4:
Leading Neurodiverse Teams
Duration: 1.5 hours
In this final session, we focus on the importance of self-awareness and building healthy connections as a leader. Scenario-based group discussions reinforce what we’ve shared through the previous two workshops, as well as the initial Neurodiversity Awareness training.
