“This workshop was incredibly insightful and practical. It really made me reflect on the language I use and how I can better support neurodivergent students during placements. The presenters’ lived experience added depth and authenticity, helping me think more critically about how we engage with nursing students. I gained a deeper awareness of neurodivergent experiences, as well as practical strategies to create a more inclusive environment. The opportunity to ask questions, hear personal stories, and access additional resources made it a rich and engaging learning experience. I’m leaving with new tools and a commitment to reflect more intentionally on my practice so I can continue to improve and stay responsive to the needs of others.”

“The workshop provided an excellent foundation for our leadership team, especially for managers who work with—or identify as—neurodivergent. The combination of lived experience and practical strategies made the content deeply relatable and immediately applicable. It helped us better understand the traits and needs of neurodivergent employees, while encouraging us to reflect on our communication and leadership styles. The engaging format, personal stories, and opportunity to ask questions made for a powerful learning experience. I’m confident this will support our managers to foster more inclusive, productive, and psychologically safe workplaces.”
