Thrive Neurodiversity Workplace Awareness: what you will learn

A 90-minute, CPD certified introduction to neurodiversity at work, for whole teams.

Around one in seven people in the UK are neurodivergent, so every team already includes neurodivergent colleagues. This course gives everyone a shared, practical starting point. I'm Peter Larkum, a certified Thrive Neurodiversity Instructor, and I deliver it live online and in-house.
