Inclusion and awareness training
Did you know that an estimated 1 in 40 Australians is Autistic? 1
That means there’s a good chance that you’ll either work with, or support, an Autistic person in your lifetime.
Our inclusion and awareness training courses are a great starting point for organisations and individuals who want to create inclusive places and spaces that benefit everyone.
They’ll help you build foundational knowledge of neurodiversity and the Autistic experience, and are accessible, cost-effective and informed by lived experience.
What are the benefits of creating inclusive environments?
We believe that when Autistic and neurodivergent people feel respected, valued and supported in their environment, everyone benefits. Research backs us up:
In workplace and educational settings, inclusive teams were reported to be 9.5% more likely to be innovative than non-inclusive teams 2, despite the fact that around 60% of workplace adjustments cost organisations nothing to implement. 3
While in the consumer and retail sector, neuroinclusion represents an opportunity for companies to build their connection with an untapped and under-supported market.
65% of people with disability say they’ve abandoned a purchase due to poor accessibility 3 despite the fact that people with disability and the elderly hold up to $40 billion annually of disposable income.3
