How do ADHD Workplace Needs Assessments work?
ADHD Workplace Needs Assessments are impartial assessments relating to work performance, circumstances and adjustments based on your ADHD related challenges. The assessment’s objective is to find solutions to support with day to day tasks which can be a barrier as a result of your ADHD.
A report of findings will outline challenges and identify if there are any reasonable adjustments that would improve your working life.
For example, if focus is a challenge and you find it hard to follow in meetings, planning techniques or 1-2-1 mentoring sessions to limit distractions may be of benefit. We can also outline if technology, such as a digital recorder or a smartpen, will ease the issue.
These suggestions are provided as recommendations, which we will also then continue to help you and your employer implement.
If you are an employee with AD(H)D, the assessment is free for you. Your employer should cover the costs of implementing our recommendations but may be offered financial support through the Access to Work Scheme.
Access to Work provides grants to cover, or share, the costs of the support, depending on how recently the employee was hired and the size of your company. For more information on how the costing works, give us a call on 0208 133 6046.

We also review assistive technology!
Reasonable adjustments for ADHD and other neurodiversities can vary depending on each individual’s needs. However, assistive technology is something that is commonly provided, helping neurodiverse adults to navigate modern-day technology easier.
