ToHealth are committed to helping all employees achieve their potential regardless of neurological difference.

PEOPLE WE SUPPORT
Supporting Everyone in Employment
ToHealth aim to provide support for all employees who have a disability and need further assistance due to neurodiversity concerns. From workplace needs assessments through to our training sessions, we always focus on the individual needs of the employee. However, the help we provide focuses on several key approaches common to all of our support provision:
- Completing workplace needs assessments.
- Providing assistive-technology software and equipment to task assist performance.
- Training in how to use assistive software and technology.
- Coaching to develop coping strategies and support routes.
- Advice for developing confidence and independence.
- Further support dependent on the nature of the neurodiversity and the needs of the employee.
The last approach is particularly important. It allows us the scope to deal with the unique features of different types of neurodiversity, and the differences between employees, on a case-by-case basis.

WHO WE HELP
Autism
Colleagues with autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), have a developmental disorder that can cause them to have difficulty in communicating with and responding to other people. It is developmental because it develops before a person reaches adulthood.

Dyslexia
Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty which affects how the brain processes information. It can negatively impact the ability of employees with dyslexia to read, write and organise.
Other difficulties like dyspraxia or dyscalculia often occur alongside dyslexia. This can complicate assessment, diagnosis and intervention methods.


WHO WE HELP
Dyscalculia
This learning difficulty concerns difficulties with numbers rather than words. Those who are affected by it are often said to lack “number sense”.
- Struggle to count.
- Cannot recognise number symbols.
- Have difficulty connecting numbers to a real-life situation.
- Lack confidence in situations which require mathematical calculations.
WHO WE HELP
Dyspraxia
This negatively affects physical coordination in children and adults. For employees with dyspraxia, it impacts gross motor skills (big movements) and fine motor skills (small movements).
- Movement, such as walking, running, jumping or crawling.
- Use of hands, such as handwriting, doing up buttons on clothing, or catching a ball.
- Keeping still.
- Concentration, paying attention, organisation and following instructions.


WHO WE HELP
ADHD
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) often occur alongside dyslexia and it can be difficult to distinguish when a reading issue is due to one or both.
Both of these can impact literacy and communication skills on their own but, as stated before, often co-exist with dyslexia. It’s important to remember that it’s not just children who are impacted by the disorder. Adults with ADHD are common too.

Other Conditions
The range of conditions and barriers to performance attributable to neurodiversity is complex and extensive. From dysgraphia to Tourette’s syndrome, employees are impacted by distinct conditions in different ways. However, our experience in dealing with employees who identify with neurodiversity enables us to provide relevant support, training and coaching across a range of neurodiverse issues.
