TEAM COHESION
Neurodiversity Employment Coaching, Consultancy & Training
What Is Neurodiversity?
Neurodiversity is an umbrella term used to explain the consistent ways some brains work differently than others. This includes autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia and ADHD. In a work environment, these neurological differences are often seen in a persons thinking processes, attention, communication, perception, or sensory experiences.
​
With as many as 15-20% of Australians thought to be neurodivergent (Life Without Barriers 2022), we need to build cultural competence within organisations to work cohesively with neurodivergent people.
Many neurodivergent people feel misunderstood, stigmatised, and socially isolated in the workplace. Working with people who have a low understanding, or misconception, of the neurodivergent experience can be disempowering and exhausting for neurodivergent people.
How Does Team Cohesion Help?
Team Cohesion provides practical neurodiversity training, employment coaching and consultancy for neurodivergent employees and their co-workers. Team Cohesion’s experience and knowledge has been developed through over 10 years direct work experience, research, from understanding an employers’ experience as well as neurodivergent employee’s lived experience.
Contact Team Cohesion to build neuro-awareness, advocacy and cohesive employment results.
