For neurodivergent staff
This can look like overwhelm, masking, shutdown, burnout, absence, conflict, missed expectations, or feeling constantly behind.
Neuroinclusion Health Check
A practical starting point for workplace neuroinclusion
A Neuroinclusion Health Check is a practical starting point for organisations that want to support neurodivergent staff better, but are not sure what to do next.
It helps you understand what is actually happening at work. Where support is working. Where pressure is building. Where ordinary work may be harder than it needs to be.
This is not a legal audit, diagnosis, or tick-box exercise. It is a practical look at work, pressure, communication, adjustments, management and support.
The aim is to give you a clearer picture and a sensible next step.

Neuroinclusion isn't a policy
Some organisations know neuroinclusion matters, but do not know where to start.
Others have started, but the support is not quite reaching the day-to-day reality of work.
There may be:
- A policy
- Training that has already happened
- A reasonable adjustments process
- Someone in HR or management who really cares
The problem is that this can often become shelfware rather than cultural change. Everyone goes back to the same meetings, same deadlines, same unclear priorities, and same pressure.
What this can look like in real work
For managers
This can look like uncertainty. They want to support people, but do not always know what to ask, what to change, or how to talk about it without making things worse.
For the organisation
This can look like repeated problems that never really get solved. One-off fixes and adjustments do not work as hoped. Good staff struggle or leave. Managers feel unsupported, and overall trust drops.
The solution: a practical neuroinclusion health check
The Neuroinclusion Health Check helps you understand what is actually happening.
It looks at where support is working, where pressure is building, and where work may be harder than it really needs to be for neurodivergent staff.
It is a practical look at work, pressure, communication, adjustments, management, and support.
The aim is to give you a clearer picture and a sensible next step.

What the neuroinclusion health check process looks like
Initial conversation
We talk about what is happening, what you are worried about, and what prompted you to ask for help.
Agreeing the focus
We agree what the Health Check needs to look at. This might be a team, a process, a support route, manager confidence, reasonable adjustments, workload, communication, or a wider organisational picture.
Looking at what is already in place
This may include reviewing policies, adjustment processes, guidance, training material, staff support routes, or how communication and workload are managed.
Listening to people
I can speak with managers, HR, team leads, neurodivergent staff, or others who understand how the work actually happens. This can be done carefully, with privacy and psychological safety in mind.
Findings and recommendations
You receive a clear findings document showing what is working, where pressure is building, what may be making work harder, where managers may need support, and what practical changes could help.
Follow-up support
The Health Check can stand alone, or ADHDaptive can support the next steps through manager coaching, staff coaching, team sessions, workshops, or support with reasonable adjustments.
What you receive
You receive a clear findings document showing:
- What is working
- Where pressure is building
- What may be making work harder
- Where managers may need support
- What practical changes could help
How this links to wider neuroinclusion consultancy
The Health Check can be a standalone piece of work, or it can be the first step before wider support.
If the findings show that managers need more confidence, adjustments are not working in practice, or staff are carrying pressure that keeps repeating, ADHDaptive can help with the next stage.
That might include manager coaching, staff coaching, team sessions, workshops, reasonable adjustments support, or wider neuroinclusion consultancy and training.
