Reasonable adjustments:
small changes, big
difference.
Many neurodivergent people, and people with hidden disabilities, are capable, committed and talented. Without the right support, they work twice as hard just to keep up. Most of what helps costs little or nothing.

What the law says
Under the Equality Act 2010, employers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments for disabled staff. That can include people with ADHD, autism, dyslexia and other conditions, where these have a substantial and long-term effect on day-to-day life. You don’t need a formal diagnosis in hand to start the conversation.
