We meet you where you are and take your teams on a journey, from curiosity and uncertainty to confident, compassionate action.

Why neuroinclusion lunch & learns?

Impactful learning in 60 minutes.

HR and leaders often tell us:

  • "We need to build understanding quickly, but people are stretched."

  • "We want something meaningful, not just a surface-level talk."

  • "We need sessions that fit around busy diaries and operational demands."

Our neuroinclusion lunch & learns are designed for this reality:

  • 60 minutes including questions, short enough to fit a lunch break or team slot.

  • Focused on real examples and practical takeaways, not theory alone.

  • Delivered in plain, human language with lived-experience insight.

A safe starting point or add-on.

Lunch & learns work well when you want to:

  • Create a safe, accessible first step into neuroinclusion.

  • Build on existing training with short, focused refreshers.

  • Reach teams who may not yet be ready for longer sessions.

They can stand alone or sit alongside your wider neuroinclusion training and strategy.

Our core 60 minute neurodiversity & neuroinclusion training session.

It covers:

  • What we mean by neurodiversity and neuroinclusion, in clear, everyday language.

  • Common neurodivergent experiences, including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and more.

  • How workplaces, communication and processes can quietly create barriers.

  • Practical ways to reduce those barriers in your own roles and teams.

Neurodiversity & Neuroinclusion Essentials (60 Minutes)

The tone is:

Why These Sessions Matter:

Statistic: With approximately 20% of the UK population being neurodivergent, and yet only 29% of autistic adults in any form of employment, with similar statistics for other neurodifferences. (Source: Human Resource Management (Wiley), v.65. i.5, 1207 to 1226).

Quick targeted neurodiversity training sessions by Neuro Tide help to build awareness, shift culture and give managers and teams the tools they can apply immediately.

Case study

A simple 60 minute lunch and learn session by Neuro Tide led to over 70 employee questions and opened the door to follow-up training. Within a quarter, engagement scores rose by 22% across departments.
