Why train your people?
Around one in seven people are thought to be neurodivergent, so most of your crews and shore teams already include neurodivergent people. Many have never told anyone. Training helps everyone understand what neurodivergence is, how it can show up at work, and the simple changes that make a real difference.
The habits that help neurodivergent people, such as clear instructions, written handovers, closed-loop communication and notice of change, are also the habits that improve safety and teamwork for everyone.
