Neurodiversity training that actually changes how people see.
Most training gives you the terminology.
Ours gives you the understanding.

We don't believe in tick-box training.
At Umeed Psychology, we've spent years supporting neurodivergent people who were failed by systems — workplaces that didn't understand them, services that pathologised them, clinicians who missed them entirely. A lot of that harm came from gaps in knowledge. Gaps that good training can close.
Our neurodiversity training programs are led by clinicians with deep expertise and lived experience. We don't do generic slides and a quiz at the end. We bring real clinical depth, cultural nuance, and the kind of honest conversation that stays with people long after the session ends.
Because the goal isn't awareness. It's genuine understanding — and the confidence to act on it.
What We Offer
Training for every level of your organisation.
-
For whole-of-organisation teams, community services, schools, and workplaces.
A practical, engaging introduction to neurodiversity — what it actually means, how it presents across different people and contexts, and what genuinely inclusive support looks like in practice. We go well beyond definitions, challenging common myths and building the kind of foundational understanding that changes how teams engage every day.
Covers: ADHD, autism, dyslexia, PDA, dyscalculia, sensory processing differences, masking, burnout, and strengths-based frameworks.
Format: 2-hour sessions, half-day workshops, or full-day intensives — online or in-person, tailored to your team.
-
For health professionals, clinicians, allied health teams, and community-facing practitioners.
Most neurodiversity frameworks were built on Western, white, English-speaking populations. This program is for practitioners who want to do better — and know the difference between a cultural presentation and a clinical one.
We explore the intersection of culture, migration, family dynamics, and neurodevelopmental presentations to reduce late diagnosis, misdiagnosis, and invisibility for multicultural and CALD communities.
Covers: Cultural formulation, CALD presentations of ADHD and autism, differentiating culture from symptom, adapting tools when English isn't a first language, and working with families and interpreters.
Format: Half-day, full-day or multi-day; eligible for CPD hours.
-
For managers, HR professionals, and organisational leaders
Knowing someone on your team is neurodivergent is one thing. Knowing how to actually support them is another. This program goes beyond reasonable adjustments into genuine inclusion — equipping managers with the tools and language to have honest conversations, reduce unnecessary barriers, and build workplaces where neurodivergent people can genuinely thrive.
Covers: Strengths-based management, flexible work adjustments in practice, communication strategies, masking at work, psychological safety, and reducing stigma at the team level.
Format: 2-4 hour (timing flexible) interactive workshop; pairs well with the all-staff foundation session.
-
For frontline workers, community services, crisis support, and healthcare teams
Trauma and neurodivergence are deeply intertwined — and understanding that connection changes everything about how you respond. This program bridges trauma-informed principles with a genuine neurodiversity framework, designed for practitioners working closest to the most complex presentations.
Covers: Nervous system basics, polyvagal theory in plain language, de-escalation, sensory considerations, building psychological safety, and avoiding retraumatisation.
Format: 2–3 hours; available online or face-to-face.
-
For psychologists, provisional psychologists, and allied health clinicians
A deep-dive professional development program for clinicians wanting to build or sharpen their ADHD assessment and intervention skills. Covering everything from gold-standard tools to culturally responsive adaptations, this intensive is designed for practitioners who want to do this work with rigour and confidence.
Covers: Assessment tools and frameworks (DIVA-5, BRIEF-2/2A, rating scales), clinical interviewing, report writing, neuroaffirming practice, differential diagnosis, and intervention planning.
Format: Full-day or two-day intensive; suitable for formal CPD.
-
For organisations with specific needs, complex contexts, or ongoing goals
Sometimes a named program isn't quite the right fit — and that's okay. If your organisation is navigating something specific, working with a particular community, or looking for more than a one-off session, we'll build something that actually matches what you need.
We've designed bespoke programs for local councils, frontline services, corporate teams, and clinical organisations — everything from half-day staff sessions to multi-module training rollouts and ongoing consultation partnerships.
Tell us what you're working with. We'll take it from there.
Areas we commonly tailor around: LGBTQIA+ affirming neurodivergent practice · intergenerational and multicultural family dynamics · neurodiversity and mental health in educational settings · embedding neuroaffirming frameworks across a whole organisation · practitioner supervision and reflective practice groups
Format: Fully flexible — single sessions, multi-week programs, keynotes, or ongoing consulting retainers.
-
For organisations ready to build something that lasts
Training is a starting point. Consulting is what happens when you want the change to go deeper — into your systems, your language, your policies, and the way your team actually works day to day.
We partner with organisations to review and strengthen how they engage with neurodivergent and culturally diverse communities — not as an audit, but as a genuine collaboration. We sit alongside your team, ask the questions worth asking, and help you build frameworks, resources, and ways of working that reflect the people you're there to serve.
This is for the organisations that don't just want to do better — they want to be different.
What consulting with Umeed can look like:
Organisational neurodiversity audits and gap analysis · developing neuroaffirming policies and workplace adjustment frameworks · clinical consultation for practices integrating neurodiversity-affirming approaches · reviewing intake, assessment, and communication processes through a neuroaffirming and culturally responsive lens · resource and psychoeducation development for teams or communities · supervision and reflective practice for practitioners · speaking and advisory roles
Format: Project-based, retainer, or one-off consultation — scoped to your needs and timeline.

Client Feedback - Psychologist Training
“The neurodiversity training delivered by Umeed Psychology was nothing short of transformative for our team. It challenged long-held assumptions and offered a refreshing, affirming perspective grounded in both evidence and lived experience. The facilitators created a space that was not only informative but deeply human—where vulnerability, curiosity, and reflection were welcomed.
As a therapist, I left with a deeper understanding of how to truly show up for my neurodivergent clients. Our corporate colleagues shared that it reshaped how they think about inclusion in the workplace. We’re already planning our next session. This training should be essential for every organisation.”
