Neurodiversity Coaching one of the most frequently requested and easily implemented accommodations to make available to neurodivergent employees and their managers.​

​

At Specialisterne, we know that neurodivergent employees and their managers thrive when they are equipped with the right support. Our Workplace Support and Coaching Services provide tailored, expert guidance to help neurodivergent individuals succeed while enabling managers and teams to foster a more inclusive and productive work environment.

 

Why Coaching Matters

​

Neurodiversity Coaching is one of the most effective and easily implemented workplace accommodations. It enhances workplace performance, well-being, and belonging by:
 

• Strengthening communication and working relationships

• Supporting problem-solving via developing and implementing tools and strategies

• Enabling career development and career progression

• Building self-awareness and self-advocacy skills

• Helping leaders and teams implement practical, neuro-inclusive strategies.
   

Our Neurodiversity Coaches are highly experienced specialists who can support the individual and the organisation through the neurodiversity lens external to the organisation to remain neutral and confidential. Many of our Coaches have lived experience of neurodiversity who provide individualised and workplace-specific support to employees, managers, and teams.

• Evidence-based Improvements - coaching approach is driven by results, data reporting and continuous quality improvement.

• Experienced Professionals - delivered by experienced Coaches who have lived experience of neurodiversity and professional training.

3. Confidential Coaching - “Neuro-Inclusive Assistance Coaching” (NAC)

 

Our Neuro-Inclusive Assistance Coaching (NAC) is a confidential coaching service designed for employees and managers to access coaching without the need for disclosure. Acting as an add-on to your EAP, NAC allows organisations to provide coaching without requiring employees to go through internal channels. 

 

Businesses can purchase a package of confidential coaching hours, which neurodivergent employees and managers can access for them as needed. Our secure booking and referral system manages all coaching requests discreetly. Coaching requests come directly through to Specialisterne confidentially to ensure employees can access neurodiversity support independently and in complete confidence. 

 

No need to manage this coaching through a point of contact within your business - we set up a booking referral system and manage all coaching requests confidentially, so there is no need to manage this coaching through your business.

 

Additionally, we also provide de-identified data insights on the most requested accommodations and adjustments to help your business make informed, proactive decisions based on the data-driven insights to build and foster neuroinclusion in your workplace.
