Neurodiversity Awareness & Support

Neurodiversity Awareness & Support

Neurodiversity is becoming increasingly recognised, not just as a medical term, but also as a source of talent and creativity. The construction industry and the skill set it requires will benefit significantly from neurodiverse individuals.  We need to recognise this and embrace the opportunities it provides.

Neurodiversity is an umbrella term to encompass those who are differently wired neurologically – this includes conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Dyslexia. It recognises that these conditions should be seen as part of normal human diversity, rather than something to be ‘fixed’ or overcome.

Employing staff from diverse backgrounds has been shown to bring numerous advantages to organisations, both in terms of increased productivity and improved wellbeing amongst employees.

Recognising the need for neurodiverse individuals within the workplace is only one step towards creating an inclusive environment; organisations must then take action to ensure those staff members feel supported by their employers and able to reach their full potential within their roles.

CHW has partnered with ToHealth to provide a comprehensive managed services for neurodiverse individuals, from the time of referral onward. This includes a workplace needs assessment and implementation of strategies to facilitate successful employment opportunities – including assistance with Access to Work funding applications.
