Welcome to Neurodiversity Gets To Work!
This unique Neurodiversity Workplace Profiler contains modules that screen for neurodivergent and wellbeing strengths and challenges and workplace adjustments needs. We recognize that neurodivergent conditions and traits often co-occur (or overlap). That’s why we take a person-centered approach to look at the person’s overall strengths and challenges across a range of cognitive areas as well as considering each person’s wellbeing.

We are proud of the work that has gone into the development of all of our Profiler tools and they are today the consequence of more than 10 years of development, research, and clinical practice, working collaboratively with 1000s of people who are neurodivergent and also with employers supporting people into, and in the workplace.
In addition, we have also crunched numbers. We have collected 1000’s of data sets from Profiler itself, comparing the results of Profiler to those of external diagnoses. Our latest version is a result of reviewing our current findings and from the feedback we have gained from our end users.
Neurodiversity Workplace Profiler takes a biopsychosocial approach – understanding the pattern of strengths and challenges for the person in the context of employment. It is less about saying you have X or Y condition but more about supporting you depending on your unique ‘spiky profile’ of strengths and challenges. This latest version allows you to easily see your strengths and challenges across different cognitive areas, so that you can target both areas to maxmize your potential.
