Evidence shows that individuals with neurological differences in the workplace enhance internal culture and increase employee engagement. Despite this, their national unemployment rate remains high.
We want to change this dynamic.

The initiative is a person centered collaborative designed to support individuals in all facets of life, across their adult lifespan.
