Neurodiversity Workplace Needs Assessment
Practical workplace needs assessments that help your people thrive
Clear, personalised recommendations to support neurodivergent employees with the adjustments they need to feel confident and do their best work.
What is a workplace needs assessment?
A workplace needs assessment is a one-to-one, structured review of an employee’s role, strengths, challenges, and working environment to identify the adjustments that will help them perform at their best. It offers clear, evidence-based recommendations that support productivity, confidence, wellbeing, and compliance with the Equality Act.
Assessments are suitable for employees with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, Tourette’s, or those who may be exploring neurodivergence for the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who Is This Assessment For?
This assessment is suitable for any employee who has a diagnosed or self-identified neurodivergence, or for someone who feels they may benefit from workplace support.
It is designed to be inclusive and supportive, regardless of whether someone is early in their understanding of neurodiversity or has lived experience already.
Do We Need Proof of Diagnosis?
No. A workplace needs assessment is not a clinical assessment and does not require a formal diagnosis.
The focus is on understanding strengths, challenges, and workplace barriers so that practical, reasonable adjustments can be identified.
How Long Does The Assessment Take?
The one-to-one assessment usually lasts between 60 and 90 minutes.
This allows enough time for a thoughtful, structured conversation without feeling rushed.
How Quickly Do We Receive The Report?
Reports are typically delivered within 7–10 working days of the assessment.
If you have specific time pressures, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate where possible.
