There is growing awareness of how accessibility needs tied to various neurodivergent conditions, are much higher in the population than previously thought.
Not only is this due to updated diagnostic criteria that better address neurodivergent traits, but because of the emergence of the executive dysfunction framework that points to accessibility needs shared not just between ADHD, Autistic, OCD, SPD and SpLD individuals, but also to individuals with anxiety and depressive disorders, PMDD, postpartum and Long COVID.
However, when it comes to accessing and communicating with services, no best practices currently exist to accommodate for neurodivergent conditions and for executive dysfunctions, especially in the field of online user flows and web accessibility.
Much emphasis is given to technological solutions, but not to the user experience of using those technological solutions.
Cognitive challenges and different ways of processing mean that careful consideration has to be made to the overall user experience flow, setting expectations, organising and presenting information, down to the very wording of questions and tasks.
Weirdly Successful is uniquely placed to consult in such projects.
We’ve been pioneers in the field of online course development and delivery in the adult non-formal education sector, through the women’s self-development portal urban:eve (est. 2008).
We were the first to develop needs-based, neurodivergence-friendly communication frameworks for our website, newsletter, technical signup, and course communication processes.
We’ve maintained email, survey and course engagement and retention rates way above industry averages.
We’ve helped over 6000 people by providing neurodivergent-friendly adaptations for work and life through our courses and consulting work. Our support helped them create more fulfilling lives while being supported in doing the work they are best at.
Besides our professional experience, our team is also 100% neurodivergent with various configurations of ADHD, ASC, OCD and SPD, giving us a unique combination of being experts on our own needs as well as understanding the bigger scope of neurodivergent conditions. Among themselves, our founders have certifications in Understanding Autism, Specific Learning Difficulties, Counselling, and Adam is a qualified ADHD coach as well.
Is this you?
- You know you have neurodivergent employees, colleagues, or teams. (And you’re right, statistically 20% of them should be. In certain industries, even more.)
- What you don’t know is what to say, what to do, how to help, how to solve problems and conflicts, and how to be respectful while maintaining a work environment
- Creating an inclusive and welcoming environment is good manners – and good business. Neurodivergent employees can be extremely productive and creative and can excel if they have the right conditions and are supported for their needs.
- We offer neurodivergent-friendly training, workshops and consultancy so that every employee can do their best work.
Best practices & insights for companies to reach their DEI goals.
- You recognise that your clientele is neurodivergent. And you know they’re falling through the cracks.
- But there are no best practices to accommodate for neurodivergent conditions.
- How do you make your communications, surveys, and intake forms more inclusive? How do you help those with executive functioning challenges?
- In neurodivergence, tiny changes can make big impacts. We provide tangible & effective solutions for every budget.
Bespoke consultation services for health & mental health providers in the public and private sector.
What our clients are saying
Weirdly Successful have offered us support in the rollout of our Diverse Sussex survey which is to become an annual benchmark for the tech industry in the region.
They have an incredible amount of knowledge and expertise from a best practice perspective and are amazing and making things really clear and simple, whilst keeping things on track and helping to build momentum.
The team are a pleasure to work with – highly personable and responsive, knowledgeable but also incredibly passionate about what they do, which shows up everywhere in the way they work. We very much feel in safe hands with them.”
“There are a lot of trainers out there talking about the statutory and legal obligations around neurodivergence, but through their bespoke session, Adam and Livia gave Brighton Chamber members access and insights into neurodivergence in a genuine, thought-provoking and uplifting way. Ad
am and Liv are diligent and engaging trainers and excellent communicators who not only provided practical tools that business leaders could implement immediately after the session, but through sharing their personal stories, they brought the topic to life.
‘Enlightening’ and ‘validating’ were just some of the words used to describe the session. Any business will be better off from having worked with them.”
“As a CEO, I want my employees to feel that they make a difference in the company’s success.
Working with Weirdly Successful has helped me be a more effective leader in how I, as someone with ADHD, communicate with my team, sets goals, and work to achieve them.
Working with Weirdly Successful is an opportunity to discover how my unique skills can help me be more successful at work and in life. What I thought were shortcomings, I soon discovered were assets that I could tap into and lead from.
No traditional business coach has helped me see this side of myself and my leadership, and I can finally lean into to achieving my goals without dreading the process.”
