Autism NI - Training For Employers
Did you know? All employers are legally obligated to provide reasonable adjustments to autistic people due to Autism Act (NI) 2011. Autistic and neurodivergent people can be highly skilled and valued members of a workplace. Autism NI provides CPD certified and tailored training for employers, to support you in building an accessible and inclusive workplace.
This CPD Certified Training can be delivered across Northern Ireland, the island of Ireland, UK and internationally. We have open course options available below on selected dates throughout the year, for individual staff members to build skills and confidence. See below for our list of upcoming dates.
Alternatively, we can deliver in house training for groups, fully tailored to your organisational needs.
Our training explores:
- Key strengths that autistic people can bring to a workplace team.
- Common adjustments that can be simply implemented to promote neuro-inclusion and support autistic people in the workplace.
- How an employer can implement supports at every stage of the employment process including recruitment, induction, maintaining role and promotion opportunities.
Why should your employees receive autism training?
It makes great business sense to be an accessible employer.
- Ensure employees feel valued and supported at work, which reduces stress, improves motivation and reliability.

- Promote an inclusive and diverse workforce ensures that staff can bring their varying experiences and expertise to the team, which can have a substantial positive impact for everyone within the organisation.
