Inclusion and awareness training
Did you know that an estimated 1 in 40 Australians is Autistic?*
That means there’s a good chance that you’ll either work with, or support, an Autistic person in your lifetime.
Our inclusion and awareness training courses will help you develop the foundational skills and knowledge to support your Autistic colleagues and clients, and are available in accessible, adaptable and cost-effective formats.
The business case for inclusion
It’s clear to us that practicing inclusion is good for everyone.
In the workplace, inclusive teams were found to be 9.5% more likely to be innovative than non-inclusive teams and 8.5% times more likely to work together effectively than non-inclusive teams*. In addition, an average worker with disability tended to stay eleven months longer than an able-bodied worker when they felt supported by their organisation.*
The benefits felt from creating these inclusive teams are undeniable and significant – especially when you consider that a reported 60% of workplace adjustments for people with disability cost organisations nothing.*
In the consumer space, it’s also clear that businesses have much to gain from practicing inclusion. Currently 1 in every 5 Australians lives with disability, but people with disability say that 75-80% of their customer experiences are failures.* This is despite the fact that people with disability and the elderly hold over $40 billion annually of disposable income, representing an undersupported market.
What sets our training apart
Our courses will help you get ahead of Australia’s growing demand for inclusive practices, by equipping you with a solid baseline of actionable insights and practical skills in neuroinclusion.
They’re run by an experienced facilitator and:
- are accessible to all, regardless of your experience, industry or role
- are designed by lived experience
- incorporate both nuanced education and opportunities for meaningful discussion
- can accommodate up to 25 participants per session, and
- are available in both online and in-person delivery format.
Plus, you can trust in our expertise. We’ve helped some of Australia’s biggest organisations build their capabilities in neuroinclusion — including Bunnings, VLine, GroupM, to name just a few.
