Training that creates real world change
At Autism & ADHD, we provide practical, neuroaffirming training for education, health and social care, businesses, organisations and families.
Our training combines lived experience, professional practice and research to create learning that changes understanding. It will immediately provide you with usable strategies that support neurodivergent people in everyday environments — not just in theory, but in real life.
Whether you are supporting a child in school, creating a more inclusive workplace, strengthening professional understanding or looking for guidance on how to provide practical family support, we help you build confidence, reduce overwhelm and create sustainable approaches that genuinely work.
However, the training is only the beginning. We also provide ongoing consultancy and support to help you to embed learning into everyday practice and feel supported beyond the initial training itself.”
Creating Sustainable Change
Training is only the beginning.
Real change happens when learning is translated into everyday practice, confidence grows and individuals feel supported to implement new approaches within their own environments.
At Autism & ADHD, we understand that attending a training session is often the easy part. The real challenge comes afterwards, when professionals, organisations and families begin applying new knowledge within the complexity of real life.
That is why our approach focuses on creating sustainable change rather than delivering "drop and run" training.
We support individuals and organisations to:
• Build confidence in neuro-affirming practice
• Develop practical strategies that can be implemented immediately
• Reflect on challenges and successes
• Strengthen communication and collaboration
• Create environments where neurodivergent people feel understood, valued and able to thrive
Our aim is not simply to increase knowledge. We help create lasting confidence, understanding and meaningful change that continues long after the training session has ended.
Consultancy and Ongoing Support
Many of our clients tell us that having access to ongoing support is one of the most valuable aspects of working with us.
Whether supporting schools, organisations, professionals or families, we recognise that questions often arise after training has taken place. New situations emerge, challenges evolve and confidence can fluctuate as learning is put into practice.
Our consultancy and support services provide an opportunity to continue the conversation.
Support may include:
• Reflective practice sessions
• Case discussions and problem solving
• Strategic planning and development
• Parent and family support
• Workplace and organisational consultancy
• Neuroaffirming practice development
• Ongoing implementation support
This flexible approach allows individuals and organisations to access specialist guidance when they need it, helping to maintain momentum and ensuring that learning becomes embedded within everyday practice.
Because meaningful change is not created through a single conversation. It develops through partnership, reflection and ongoing support.
Partnership Working
We believe that the best outcomes are achieved when people work together.
Neurodivergent individuals do not exist in isolation. Their experiences are shaped by relationships with families, schools, workplaces, communities and support networks.
Our work focuses on creating stronger partnerships between:
• Families and professionals
• Schools and parents
• Employers and employees
• Services and communities
• Professional expertise and lived experience
By bringing different perspectives together, we help create shared understanding, consistent approaches and stronger support networks.
This partnership-based approach encourages meaningful conversations, reduces misunderstanding and creates environments where neurodivergent people can feel safe, supported and able to succeed.
Because sustainable change happens through relationships, not in isolation.
Your journey with us
Every organisation starts in a different place. Some are just beginning their neurodiversity journey, while others are looking to build on existing knowledge and create lasting change. Our role is not simply to deliver training. We work alongside you to build confidence, develop understanding, and create environments where neurodivergent people can genuinely thrive.
Step 1: Understanding Where You Are Now
We begin by listening. Together, we explore your current strengths, challenges, goals, and aspirations. This helps us tailor our support to meet the needs of your organisation, team, and community.
Step 2: Building Understanding
Through engaging, practical and neuroaffirming training, we help staff, leaders, families and communities develop a deeper understanding of neurodivergence and its impact on everyday experiences.
Step 3: Developing Confidence
Knowledge alone does not create change. We support individuals and teams to translate understanding into practical strategies, helping them feel more confident in supporting neurodivergent people and responding to challenges.
Step 4: Embedding Meaningful Change
Sustainable change happens when learning becomes part of everyday practice. We work with organisations to strengthen communication, relationships, accessibility and inclusion across their environments.
Step 5: Creating Lasting Partnerships
If you feel at this point you just want a standalone training thats absolutely fine, but our support does not have to end when the training finishes. We offer ongoing consultancy, coaching, resources and partnership opportunities to help organisations continue their journey and build lasting impact.
Together, we move beyond awareness and towards meaningful, sustainable change.
What happens next?
Whether you are an education setting, employer, service provider, community, organisation or family support service, we will work with you to identify the most appropriate pathway for your needs.
Following your initial enquiry, we will:
Arrange an informal conversation to understand your goals and challenges.
Discuss the needs of your staff, families, service users or community.
Explore the training, consultancy or partnership options available.
Develop a tailored proposal that reflects your objectives.
Create a plan that supports both immediate priorities and long-term development.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Every organisation is different, and our aim is to work collaboratively with you to create
Support that is practical, meaningful and sustainable. We believe that lasting change happens through relationships, trust and shared understanding.
The difference we help create
Organisations that work with us often report:
Increased Confidence
Staff and leaders feel more confident supporting neurodivergent individuals and responding to challenges with understanding and empathy.
Stronger Relationships
Improved communication between professionals, families, carers and communities helps build trust and reduce conflict.
Greater Understanding
Teams develop a deeper appreciation of neurodivergent experiences, strengths and support needs.
More Inclusive Environments
Practical changes create spaces where neurodivergent people feel understood, valued and able to thrive.
Sustainable Practice
Learning becomes embedded into everyday practice rather than remaining a one-off training event.
Improved Wellbeing
When people feel understood and supported, outcomes improve for everyone involved.
Most importantly, organisations begin to create cultures where understanding, belonging and inclusion become part of everyday life. Neurodivergent people should not have to change who they are to belong.
Belonging happens when environments, relationships and systems adapt too and all of society benefits when we don’t see difference as a problem, but we see it as an opportunity.
