Supporting neurodivergence

Our goal is to empower workplaces to embrace diversity and provide an environment where every veterinary professional can thrive.

Good leaders and employers work to support their teams and good workplaces create inclusive, supportive, and welcoming environments where employees can contribute to their team and reach their potential. Best veterinary employment practice is captured in the excellent BVA Good Veterinary Workplaces initiative.

Ultimately good employers will support all employees to reach their potential and succeed in their role.

Fostering a Neuro-Inclusive Culture and Environment in Veterinary Practice

In veterinary practice creating a neuro-inclusive environment is not only essential for the efficacy and morale of the entire team but also for the well-being of animals. By understanding and accommodating diverse neurotypes, veterinary teams can enhance communication, productivity, and ultimately provide better care.

Written Resource for the Whole Veterinary Community

For practical support, we have developed a comprehensive written resource which is freely available to all in the veterinary team including veterinary professionals, practice managers, employers, students and administrative team offering guidance on navigating the process of obtaining reasonable accommodations for neurodivergent individuals. Our goal is to empower workplaces to embrace diversity and provide an environment where every veterinary professional can thrive.
