Neuroinclusion isn’t one size fits all, and neither are we.

General Understanding

  • A neurodiversity consultancy helps organisations create inclusive environments where neurodivergent employees (such as those with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, etc.) can thrive. At Neuro Tide, we go beyond awareness; we help you build systemic, sustainable neuroinclusion into hiring, leadership, policy, and everyday operations. It’s about unlocking talent, improving retention, and boosting productivity through inclusive design.

  • Neurodiversity refers to natural differences in how people think, learn, and process information. In the workplace, this includes employees with cogntive differences like autism, ADHD, dyspraxia, and Tourette’s. Embracing neurodiversity in your workplace means designing roles, systems, and communications that work for different brains.

  • While there’s overlap, neurodiversity is its own category. It’s not a medical model, it’s a social and design based approach. Instead of asking, “What’s wrong with this person?” we ask, “How can the environment better support how this person works best?”
