Flexible Work Arrangements
Offer options like remote work, adjustable hours, or part-time schedules to help manage energy levels, sensory needs, and medical appointments.
Sensory-Friendly Workspaces
Provide quiet zones, allow noise-canceling headphones, adjustable lighting, and minimize clutter or strong scents to reduce sensory overload.
Clear Task Structure & Predictability
Break projects into smaller steps with deadlines, use visual schedules or checklists, and maintain consistent routines when possible.
Accessible Training and Onboarding
Use multiple formats (videos, written guides, hands-on demos) and allow extra time for learning new processes.
Provide Mentorship and Peer Support
Pair neurodivergent employees with mentors or “buddies” who understand and can offer guidance in workplace navigation.
Encourage Strength-Based Role Design
Assign tasks aligned with employees’ unique skills and interests, allowing them to leverage their strengths effectively.
Implement Clear Policies for Accommodations
Make it easy and stigma-free to request accommodations, and ensure confidentiality and responsiveness.
Promote a Culture of Acceptance and Flexibility
Foster an environment where diversity in thinking and working styles is valued, and differences are celebrated rather than just tolerated.
