Neuro-Inclusivity with Emma Calvert and Rosie Knapper

Neuro-Inclusivity is a workplace-facing consultancy offering training, coaching and advisory support to help employers work more effectively with neurodivergent staff. Based in Dorset, the service is aimed at organisations — HR teams, line managers and leadership — seeking to build understanding of conditions including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia and dyspraxia, and to adapt policies and day-to-day practice accordingly. The offer sits at the organisational end of the neurodiversity-in-the-workplace space, rather than being a clinical or diagnostic service, and is pitched at companies wanting to improve recruitment, retention and innovation by better supporting the estimated fifth of the UK adult population who are neurodivergent.

The company was founded by Emma Calvert and Rosie Knapper, who bring complementary backgrounds to the business. Calvert’s career has been in financial services, where she led global change and transformation teams, including work on mergers and acquisitions, and she is described as an award-winning organisational development specialist with a focus on executive coaching, team leadership and neurodiversity coaching; she also speaks and writes on the subject. Knapper’s background is in education — she holds a degree in Education and an MSc in Organisational Psychology — and she chairs SWRAC, an independent college supporting young adults with special educational needs, alongside work as a skills consultant for Dorset Chamber. According to the site, the pair set up Neuro-Inclusivity after encountering the same gap repeatedly while working with neurodivergent people across financial services and technology: a lack of structured, practical workplace support once someone was in post, as distinct from recruitment-stage initiatives.

The service is organised into five strands. Company-wide awareness training aims to build general understanding and dispel common myths about neurodivergent conditions across a workforce. A separate coaching offer is aimed directly at neurodivergent employees, intended to help them work in ways that suit them and build confidence in their roles. Manager training and coaching is aimed at neurotypical managers, building their skills and knowledge in supporting neurodivergent team members day to day. A fourth strand works with leadership and HR functions on policy and culture — developing the structural adjustments, practices and organisational culture the site says are needed for neurodivergent employees to thrive, rather than leaving this to individual managers’ discretion. The company also offers guest speaking, with the founders available to give talks on neurodiversity topics to external audiences.

The stated approach is to meet organisations “”where they are now””, tailoring the mix of training, coaching and advisory work to a company’s existing level of awareness rather than applying a single fixed programme. The framing throughout is strengths-based — the site talks in terms of harnessing what it calls the “”superpowers”” of neurodivergent employees and treating cognitive difference as a source of alternative perspective and business value, rather than positioning neurodivergent staff purely as a compliance or welfare issue to be managed.

What the site does not set out in detail is the specific frameworks, evidence base or accreditation underpinning the training and coaching content — there is no reference to particular coaching methodologies, external certifications, or published outcome data, and no client list, case studies or testimonials are shown on the pages reviewed. The offer is best understood, on the evidence available, as a boutique two-person consultancy trading on the founders’ own sector experience — one in corporate change management, one in education and organisational psychology — rather than one built around a documented clinical or academic methodology.
