neurodivergence support

equity : diversity : inclusion

 

giving people the knowledge and confidence

they need to find their way forward

equity is what we do to get equality

 

living with a health condition often incurs additional expenses, particularly when societal structures present disabling barriers. you can read about the disability price tag on the scope website. 

 

everyone deserves appropriate support, yet the current welfare benefit system presents systemic disadvantages for neurodivergent individuals. this is primarily due to a lack of specialist qualifications or experience among many health professionals conducting personal independence payment (PIP) assessments on behalf of the DWP. without this crucial knowledge, fair determinations regarding an individual's difficulties are compromised. 

 

WBNIA will be the first organisation exclusively focused on offering assistance and support to neurodivergent individuals throughout their PIP application and review process.

 

 

diversity: 

there is more than one way to get something done

 

a diverse workforce is consistently linked to improved productivity, enhanced creativity and innovation, and higher staff retention. neurodivergent individuals, in particular, offer unique perspectives and experiences compared to their neurotypical counterparts. however, many neurodivergent people may not have had the opportunity to fully recognise their own strengths. WBNIA is committed to providing the necessary tools to help individuals explore and uncover their innate abilities.

 

 

inclusion:

creating environments in which diversity can thrive

 

we will provide resources and templates to help individuals request reasonable adjustments in spaces that hinder their full expression. it is important to remember that neurodivergent individuals are not a monolith; therefore, a reasonable adjustment that works for one neurodivergent person may not be suitable for another, even if an organisation has such provisions in place.
