Changing the narrative about neurodiversity through awareness, education and engagement.
With as many as 15-20% of Australians thought to be neurodivergent (Life Without Barriers 2022), organisations need to build cultural competence in working with and supporting neurodivergent employees. The first step to building competence is education.
Untapped has developed, through direct workplace experience over eight years and multiple research projects, the world’s leading body of knowledge in successful employment outcomes for neurodivergent employees.
