Corporate. Leadership. Workforce Inclusion
Neuroinclusion training often stops at awareness. This full-day session was designed to go further — supporting HR professionals, managers, and leaders to translate insight into practical, workplace-relevant action.
Delivered by Neurodiversity Spark at W5 Belfast, the training brought together research expertise, lived experience, and applied practice in a multidisciplinary format that reflected how neuroinclusion actually works in real organisations.
Spark delivered a full-day neuroinclusion-focused training for professionals working across leadership, people management, and organisational development. The session was hosted at W5 Belfast and attended by participants ready to move beyond surface-level understanding toward meaningful change.
Rather than positioning neuroinclusion as a set of policies or adjustments, the day focused on how culture, systems, and everyday decisions shape whether neurodivergent people can participate, contribute, and thrive at work.
This was not a partnership delivery with W5; the venue provided an accessible, professional environment that supported reflective and interactive learning.
Spark designed and facilitated the full-day training, drawing on multidisciplinary expertise across research, lived experience, and applied neuroinclusive practice.
Delivery was led by Spark’s Director of Research, Professor April Hargreaves, alongside Spark facilitators and trusted professional contributors. This model allowed participants to engage with neuroinclusion from multiple perspectives; academic, practical, and human, without collapsing these into a single narrative.
The MDT approach modelled the kind of joined-up thinking organisations need when supporting neurodivergent employees across the full employee lifecycle.
The day was facilitation-led rather than content-heavy. Sessions prioritised psychological safety, openness, and real-world application, with space for reflection, discussion, and practical problem-solving.
Rather than prescribing solutions, Spark supported participants to:
Learning was shaped by the people in the room, not delivered as a fixed script. Inclusion was designed in from the outset — no one had to ask for it.
Participants reported high levels of engagement and left with clearer understanding of how to:
For Spark, the day demonstrated the value of multidisciplinary delivery in creating learning environments that are both rigorous and human.
This session reflects Spark’s approach to training as facilitated learning, not content delivery, and to neuroinclusion as something that must be practiced, not just discussed.
