Specialists in neurodiversity and disability
Introducing the AAE - a SRAG partner since 2023
The SRAG was set up to encourage employers to recruit people who face challenges securing employment. This includes many demographics, such as young people not in employment, education or training, unpaid carers, or those leaving the criminal justice system. For these individuals to thrive, the impact of Neurodiversity and disability must be understood.
About the AAE
The AAE are specialists in reasonable adjustments and sustainable culture change. They understand that successful businesses create opportunity, and to be successful in 2024 means fully embracing inclusion of all kinds. This imperative has been made even more urgent when factoring in the proposed changes to wages reporting designed to close the disability pay gap.
Because every member of the AAE team is neurodivergent or has a disability, working with them means while clients benefit from the lived experience of the dedicated team, the consultancy and training fees they invest are supporting people with disabilities and neurodivergence to thrive.
Their approach blends evidence, sensory learning and lived experience. They create and enable transformational interactions that break down preconceptions, removing barriers to integration and assimilation for the benefit of business - and now they have developed an online course that is set to transform how businesses assimilate Neurodiverse team members.
