Neurodiversity in business

Posted on by

Neurodiversity encompasses a wide spectrum of human neurotypes, including neurotypical individuals as well as neurodivergent individuals such as those with Autism, Attention Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, and Tourette’s, among others.

Despite the significant talents and contributions neurodivergent individuals bring, statistics from the National Autistic Society and CIPD Poll highlight the challenges they face in the workplace, with low employment rates and lack of focus on neurodiversity.

  • Only 16% of autistic adults are in full-time paid employment.
  • Only 1 in 10 organisations are focusing on neurodiversity at work.
  • 45% of people have lost or left their job because of challenges due to being misunderstood.

Neurodiversity in Business (NiB) serves as a platform for corporates to integrate neurodivergent individuals into the workforce, support their career progression, and foster a better understanding of neurodiversity among companies. NiB is endorsed by numerous organizations and supported by global leaders in neurodiversity, with a mission to educate, demonstrate, celebrate, and empower neurodivergent individuals in the workplace.

Dyscalculia Mentor

Posted on by

One of our graduates is now available to help working with students who have dyscalculia.

Here is what the website says:

Robert Regan (M.A., Education), founder of Dyscalculia Mentor, has over 20 years of experience teaching in public schools. He has been teaching math in Virginia since 2013 and received certification in dyscalculia tutoring from Dyscalculia Services in 2023. He has a passion for helping students generate insight into mathematical concepts.

Seeing math students thrive when they can make discoveries at their own level inspired Robert to focus his attention on students with dyscalculia. He saw that the power of genuine, hands-on math instruction can build bridges throughout the dyscalculic mind.

Dyscalculia Mentor serves students in central Virginia (Richmond and surrounding areas).
