Neurodiversity Training and ADHD Speaking
Somewhere in your organization, a capable person is failing under a system nobody built for their brain. It's the employee who misses deadlines and outperforms everyone in a crisis, the Autistic analyst people call difficult because she needs instructions in writing, the patient who keeps "not complying," and the student everybody has written off as defiant. I train the people around them to see what's going on and to change the system around that person.
What does neurodiversity training cover?
Neurodiversity training teaches managers, clinicians, and educators how ADHD and Autism affect time, attention, communication, and regulation, and which accommodations help in practice. Sessions cover recognizing executive function challenges, adjusting processes and expectations, and supporting neurodivergent people without lowering standards.
​
Who I work with
• I help employers and HR teams build accommodations that hold up in practice, and train managers to recognize what they're looking at.
• I train healthcare and clinical teams to spot ADHD and Autism in patients who came in for something else, and to see how time blindness wrecks treatment plans.
• I work with schools and educators on executive function in the classroom and the difference between won't and can't.
• I give keynotes and breakout sessions for conferences and associations.
​
Training formats
• Keynotes run 45 to 90 minutes and fit conferences, all-hands meetings, and kickoff events.
• Workshops run a half day or a full day and fit manager training, clinical teams, and school staff development.
• A training series of three to six sessions fits teams building accommodation practices over time.
• Consulting is scoped per project, for reviewing policies, onboarding, and accommodation processes.
I deliver every format in person or by video. I scope each engagement on a planning call, because a 45-minute virtual keynote for a nonprofit and a three-part series for a hospital system are different jobs. You'll leave that call with a number. Schools and nonprofits get reduced rates.
​
Topics
Neurodivergent-Inclusive Workplaces
Accommodations for ADHD and Autistic staff that raise productivity and keep the bar where it is.
Leading Neurodivergent Teams
The mistakes managers make most often, and the handful of changes that fix most of them.
Time Blindness at Work and in Treatment
Some brains don't experience time as past, present, and future, and deadlines and treatment compliance suffer for it.
Executive Function for Professionals
The mechanism under procrastination, missed steps, and "inconsistent" performance.
Emotional Regulation and ADHD
Frustration, overwhelm, shutdowns, and rejection sensitivity at work, in ADHD and Autistic adults alike.
Neurodivergent Families
For schools, pediatric practices, and parent-facing organizations.
​
I adjust each session to the audience. A hospital team and a software company get different examples and different takeaways.
​
What you get
• A pre-event call where I learn your audience and what's going on in your organization
• A session built for your people
• Handouts attendees can use afterward
• A follow-up resource list for leadership
​
Outside my scope
I don't give legal or HR compliance advice. I'll tell you what works, and your counsel tells you what's required. I don't diagnose or treat anyone. And one keynote won't fix how a team operates. It changes how people think, and changing how a team works usually takes a series.

Tell me who's in the room and what's going wrong. On a 30-minute planning call, we'll look at how I can help and which format makes sense.

The goal is not perfection; the goal is persistence.
Moving forward, upward, outward.
Constantly working to make incremental change
that is sustainable and long-lasting.
​
We must work to understand that we are unique.
Part of our healing process must include
learning to accept us for who we are.
Not striving for a non-existent ideal of "normal."
