Acquired Neurodivergence Explained: Preparing Organisations for Neurological Change

Neurodivergence isn’t always lifelong, sometimes, it’s acquired.

This eye-opening session explores how trauma, illness, and life events can reshape the brain and what that means for inclusive, forward-thinking workplaces.

Date: Thursday, 7th August 2025

Time: 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM BST

Acquired neurodivergence is not rare, but rarely considered. By understanding it, organisations can better support their people, and future proof their inclusion efforts.

Why Acquired Neurodivergence Needs a Place in Your Inclusion Strategy

  • Online
  • Thursday, 7th August
  • 1:00 - 2:00 PM BST

Most people think of neurodivergence as something you’re born with, but for many, it develops later in life, following experiences like trauma, menopause, Long Covid, stroke, or brain injury.

This is known as acquired neurodivergence and while it’s common, it’s rarely recognised in workplace conversations about inclusion, accessibility, or wellbeing.

In this timely and practical session, you’ll discover how neurological change can impact individuals at work and what employers, managers, and HR teams can do to create an environment where those navigating this change feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Whether you’re reviewing your EDI strategy, leading a team, or shaping your organisation’s culture, this session offers valuable insights and ready-to-use solutions.
