How Can OH Support Individuals with Neurodivergent Conditions?
When a HR professional encounters an employee who has a diagnosed or suspected neurodivergent condition, they often seek support from their occupational health team.
These clinicians - occupational health physicians and nurses - can provide generalised advice and workplace adjustments that allow the individual to meet expectations. Professional vocational services such as neurological occupational therapy will come after, with the OH team referring the individual to OT companies such as Krysalis.
We can provide services that help employers understand the work capacity of employees impacted by a neurodivergent condition. We offer vocational rehabilitation and specialist occupational therapy assessments of function and work capacity using a biopsychosocial model of function.
An occupational health professional can work with occupational therapists to give an individual the best support possible.
