We take a different approach.

Link Consulting is the first ever neurodiversity consultancy service that uses evidence-based medical frameworks to get inside the psychology of what it means to think, process, interact, and self-regulate at work. As a result, employers observe improved engagement, productivity, and retention in employees benefiting directly from extra support. In addition, all employees are positively impacted by a more neuro-inclusive culture. Rooted in Occupational Therapy, Organizational Psychology, and Implementation Science, Link Consulting services are both scalable and sustainable.

 At least 20%

neurodistinct
(based on CDC statistics)

However, instead of focusing on WHO is neurodistinct, focus on WHAT we need to do to create a sense of safety, belonging, and value at work. A neuro-inclusive work environment creates a foundation for effective communication and psychological safety. Research shows these two factors result in an increase in productivity and innovation across employees and teams.
