DiversAbility
We champion people with diverse abilities and the previously untapped potential they bring to the workplace. This includes neurodiversity, a concept where neurological differences are to be recognized and respected as any other human variation. This includes Autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity, Dyscalculia, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Tourette’s Syndrome, and many other neurological differences. We are dedicated to hiring, supporting, educating and embracing people of all abilities.

“Neurodiversity is important because if there were no differences in the way that people thought…new ideas would not be created.”
