Adjustments Guidance for Neurodivergent Staff
Many DAWN members have informed us that one of the principal obstacles they face to requesting adjustments from their managers is a lack of certainty about what they can ask for, and a fear of being perceived as unreasonable for making certain requests. This guide aims to offer members a list of accommodations that they might want to request from colleagues to help them feel comfortable and fully included in the workplace. We accept that this list is not exhaustive, and that every individual will have their own needs, but hope it gives you the confidence to request any such reasonable adjustments as you need.
