Neurodivergent Inclusion
in University & Healthcare Settings
Healthcare and university environments often operate under pressure, where hidden disabilities, sensory needs and cognitive differences can be overlooked or misunderstood. Jodie delivers lived-experience training that improves communication, reduces stress and supports safer, more inclusive environments for both staff and those they support.
Book a Neurotalks SessionClinical and university environments aren’t built for how people actually think
Around one in five patients, students and staff are neurodivergent, yet most environments aren’t designed with sensory, cognitive or communication differences in mind.
The result is misunderstanding, anxiety, delays in care and avoidable pressure on both individuals and teams.
This isn’t about awareness.
It’s about safer, more effective environments.
Improve communication
Between clinical teams, patients and neurodivergent individuals.
Reduce stress & burnout

Neurodivergent inclusion isn’t “extra training” — it’s fundamental to safe, effective, person-centred care.
