Many neurodivergent folks suffer in workplaces that aren’t designed with their brains, energy, or work styles in mind. We help individuals and organizations navigate these challenges, including:

Barriers to Belonging

For Individuals

  • Struggle to navigate workplace processes like accommodation requests, policies, and unwritten expectations

  • Limited access to affirming professional development and career advancement opportunities

  • Difficulty finding trusted resources and support systems tailored to neurodivergent needs

  • Burnout and reduced wellbeing from working in environments not designed with neurodiversity in mind

For Organizations

  • Lack of clear policies and practices for accessibility and accommodations

  • Uncertainty about how to support neurodivergent employees while maintaining organizational effectiveness

  • Missed opportunities for innovation, retention, and leadership development when neurodivergent talent isn’t supported

  • Organizational cultures that unintentionally exclude or create barriers to participation
