Neurodiversity Center for Innovation: Accelerating Workplace Solutions for Neurodivergent Women

Many workplaces remain inflexible, stigmatizing, and unclear in supporting neurodivergent employees, especially women who often identify neurodivergence later in their careers. The Neurodiversity Center for Innovation (NCI) addresses systemic barriers by piloting evidence-based workplace practices, including flexible scheduling, sensory-informed design, transparent accommodation pathways, and mentorship networks. By embedding these practices in live workplace environments and translating results into replicable standards, NCI advances equity, improves retention and promotion, and creates scalable models for inclusive workplaces nationwide.
