Workplace Adjustments & Equipment Guide — Neurodivergent-Friendly Adjustments | CogniVault

A practical guide to workplace adjustments and equipment that help people work to their strengths. Organised by theme, this is supportive guidance for fair, inclusive workplaces — not a diagnosis, or medical or legal advice.

Focus & attention

Noise-cancelling headphones or earplugs
Focus apps and timers, access to a quiet room, agreed movement breaks, and work broken into shorter chunks

Organisation & memory

Visual planners and kanban boards, task and reminder apps, written step-by-step instructions, checklists, and colour-coded files

Communication & collaboration

Agendas shared in advance, written follow-ups, clear briefs, captions and transcripts, and 1:1 or small-group discussion

Sensory & environment

Adjustable lighting, a calmer desk location, screen tints and overlays, ergonomic seating, and short sensory breaks

Reading, writing & numbers

Text-to-speech and speech-to-text tools, proofreading software, readable document formatting, and number-checking tools

Wellbeing & energy

Flexible hours, agreed workload pacing, constructive feedback, advance notice of changes, and regular check-ins
