Many adjustments are simple, cost-effective, or even free - in fact, as many as 59% of commonly requested accommodations actually cost nothing to the employer.
Sometimes, they are simply changes to the work process and environment that can enhance productivity and wellbeing, by creating safe spaces in which everyone can be their best self.

​
Cost-effective but meaningful adjustments include:
-
Changes in the way you communicate to suit individual preferences
​
-
Flexible hours
​
-
Remote working
​
-
Creating quiet spaces
​
-
Providing written agendas and follow up meeting-notes
Workplace adjustments create safer, happier, and more productive workplaces, and are significantly cheaper than the cost of re-recruiting.
And they’re not just for neurodivergent and Disabled employees, either - adjustments for all include people with caring responsibilities, mental health challenges, or any other form of access requirement.
The ‘cost’ of reasonable adjustment should never be a deterrent to working with neurodivergent people - the cost of not being inclusive has a far more substantial price.
