This course begins with discussing neurodiversity and what it means to be neurodivergent or neurotypical. Participants will learn about eight sensory systems and how we process our environment whether we are neurodivergent or neurotypical.
With a basic understanding of sensory systems, we can begin to understand and support our workforce and those we serve.
This course also touches on the barriers that are presented in accessing gainful employment, support services, and other.
Excellent course for:
- Employers expanding their DEI efforts and building an inclusive staff work environment.
- Employers looking to access an untapped, talented, and ready to work pool of talent that has been difficult to reach.
- Supportive Employment Organizations.
- Organizations that work with underserved populations.
- Organizations that work with adults and/or children experiencing housing instability.

There is a workforce that is untapped, talented and ready to work; however there are barriers in our hiring and employment practices that often do not give us access to these individuals. Employers must have a basic understanding of neurodivergence to effectively recruit and retain neurodivergent workers. Harvard Business Review reports teams that incorporate neurodivergent employees are 30% more productive.

Excellent for:
- Employers who want to increase productivity and
retention of their employees. - Employer finding difficulty accessing qualified talent.

*It is highly recommended that Neurodiversity and Sensory Systems is taken before this course.

The primary advantage of hiring a vocational counselor for neurodivergent employees lies in their ability to facilitate a productive working environment and a positive employee/employer relationship.
Counselors who are experts in supporting a neurodivergent workforce possess a deep understanding, enabling them to tailor their approach to meet the individual needs of employees. Through personalized assessments, vocational counselors can identify the strengths, preferences, and challenges of neurodivergent individuals, allowing for the creation of targeted strategies to optimize their professional success.
One of the key benefits of vocational counseling is the
promotion of effective communication within the workplace. Neurodivergent employees may have unique communication styles, and a vocational counselor acts as a bridge between the employee and their colleagues, fostering understanding and collaboration. By facilitating open and transparent communication, vocational counselors contribute to a more inclusive and supportive work environment, where neurodivergent employees feel valued and understood.
From time management to social interaction, our vocational counselors offer practical guidance and training, ensuring that neurodivergent employees can navigate the professional landscape successfully. This proactive approach not only enhances the individual's performance but also contributes to the overall productivity of the team.
In addition to individualized support, we also assist companies in implementing inclusive policies and practices. By advising on workplace accommodations and supporting workplace education on neurodiversity. This inclusive culture not only benefits neurodivergent employees but enhances the overall diversity and innovation within the organization.
The decision to hire one of our vocational counselors for a neurodivergent employee is a strategic investment in fostering a more inclusive, supportive, and productive workplace. Not only do we work with the employee but also the employer. We tailor our approach to individual and company needs, facilitate effective communication and recommend reasonable accommodations that usually cost zero dollars.
