Neurodiversity in the workplace

Leadership training that makes the workplace make sense.

We help managers and leaders turn research and lived experience into practical, everyday ways of supporting neurodivergent teams — so people feel understood and do their best work.

The In Clear Terms difference

A neurodiversity lens, translated into management you can actually use.

Most training stops at awareness. We start where the workday actually happens — in the way instructions are given, tasks are set, and teams communicate. Every session is led with both professional expertise and genuine lived experience, and turns dense research into something a busy manager can apply on Monday morning.

What your leaders walk away with

Six things every manager can put to work straight away.

Sessions move through why workplace friction happens, how to reduce it, and the strengths good support unlocks. Here’s the ground we cover.

01

Clear communication

Spotting ambiguity, swapping vague asks for specific ones, and matching written and verbal styles to how people actually process.

02

Task & cognitive load

Scaffolding big tasks into steps and mini-deadlines, reducing overwhelm, and making invisible recurring work visible.

03

Energy & focus

Understanding masking, social fatigue and hyperfocus — and protecting the bandwidth that drives good work.

04

Practical accommodations

Low-cost, high-impact adjustments managers can offer without red tape, and how to ask what someone actually needs.

05

Neurodivergent strengths

Reframing challenge as capability — detail, pattern recognition, creative and systems thinking, deep expertise.

06

Psychological safety

Building teams where people feel safe to speak up, unmask, and be understood — the foundation everything else sits on.
