Problem
What this addresses
Many neurodivergent people face hiring barriers, unclear workplace expectations, and limited access to supportive entry points into meaningful work.
Inclusive employment and coaching
Neurodivergent Work Program
Structured, dignity-first work experiences for neurodivergent workers who benefit from clear expectations, supportive coaching, and meaningful contribution.
Project overview
The Neurodivergent Work Program creates structured opportunities for people who may need clearer expectations, supportive coaching, and flexible ways to contribute. The goal is meaningful participation, not a one-size-fits-all workplace model.
Five24 uses practical tasks, predictable rhythms, coaching, and feedback to help participants build confidence and work skills. Program design can adapt with the participant, family, mentor, and partner organization.
How it fits Five24
Dignified work includes access, belonging, and the freedom to contribute without being forced to hide or overcome every difference alone. Inclusive work strengthens Five24's broader commitment to prevention and opportunity.
