The Neuroinclusive Employment project was a research and learning partnership between the Social Research and Demonstration Corporation (SRDC) and The Sinneave Family Foundation (Sinneave). The project explored inclusive employment practices for people living with disabilities, both broadly and specifically for neurodivergent people. The research focused on identifying evidence-based practices and real-world examples that employers use to support neurodivergent people and people living with disabilities, as well as uncovering opportunities to further advance these efforts. The aim of the research was to generate insights that can help Sinneave, other organizations, and policymakers strengthen employer-focused initiatives to support employment inclusion, with an emphasis on neuroinclusion.
