At a glance
- Three-hour interactive training session
- Onsite and/or online
- For Learning and Development professionals
This session will help the Learning and Development team create training that is more accessible, engaging and effective for neurodivergent colleagues. It will explore how differences in attention, memory, information processing, reading, sensory needs and executive functioning can affect the learning experience. Particular attention is given to digital learning and e-learning, including how dense content, rigid formats and inaccessible design can create fatigue and reduce engagement. Participants will consider practical ways to improve learning content, delivery and assessment without lowering standards or creating entirely separate programmes.
What the workshop covers
- Neurodiversity and different learning needs
- Neuroaffirming language and learner communication
- Common barriers within training and e-learning
- Designing clear and accessible learning content
- Adapting facilitation and session delivery
- Providing choice without reducing learning standards
- Inclusive assessment and learner feedback
- Reviewing real workplace learning examples
Learning outcomes
Participants will be able to:
- Recognise how neurodivergence can affect learning and participation
- Identify barriers within existing learning materials and platforms
- Create clearer, more accessible training content
- Adapt delivery for different communication and processing needs
- Reduce unnecessary cognitive load and learner fatigue
- Build flexibility and choice into learning journeys
- Apply neuroinclusive principles to e-learning, onboarding and development programmes
Objectives
- Build shared understanding of neurodivergent learning needs
- Improve the accessibility of training and e-learning
- Equip the L&D team with practical inclusive design tools
- Support more consistent engagement and completion
- Embed neuroinclusive practice across learning and development
What is included
Every session comes with the same essentials
Live, interactive delivery
A live session face-to-face or online, with Q&A and interactive exercises throughout rather than a one-way presentation.
Slides and take-away resources
Presentation slides as a PDF plus supporting resources so participants can revisit the content afterwards.
Recording on request
Online sessions can be recorded under a limited internal licence, so shift workers and remote teams do not miss out.
How we design a programme
We listen before we write a single slide
- 01
Scoping conversation
We start by understanding your organisation, workforce, working environments and what you want people to take away.
- 02
Real scenarios gathered
We invite anonymised workplace scenarios so the session addresses the situations your people are actually encountering.
- 03
Tailored delivery
Content, language and examples are adapted to your sector, including head office, remote, frontline and field-based teams.
- 04
Next steps and follow-on
Sessions close with practical actions and a clear path forward, with optional follow-on sessions to embed the learning.
