How do Dyspraxia Workplace Needs Assessments work?
Dyspraxia Workplace Needs Assessments are impartial assessments relating to work performance, circumstances, and adjustments based on your dyspraxia related challenges. The objective is to find solutions to support day-to-day tasks which can be a barrier because of your dyspraxia.
The assessment will help to identify if there are any reasonable adjustments that would improve your working life such as assistance with mental processing or physical fatigue that individuals with dyspraxia may face in work. These are provided as recommendations, which we will also then continue to help you and your employer implement.
A report of findings will outline challenges such as issues with remembering actions or maintaining plans. It will outline if technology such as Mind Mapping software or 1-2-1 sessions such as memory technique’s and scheduling methods may be of benefit.
If you are an employee with dyspraxia, 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.
