Meet Diversity Included: A Company Changing the Workforce—One Mind at a Time

What if we told you that your workplace could be both inclusive and exceptional?

That people with learning and intellectual disabilities don’t need to be “fit into” systems—they just need systems that see their brilliance differently?

Enter Diversity Included — a company that’s breaking down barriers, reimagining employment, and helping both individuals and organizations create workplaces that work for everyone.

What is Diversity Included?

Diversity Included is a Nova Scotia-based company offering:

• Assessments to identify learning and intellectual disabilities

• Diagnostic services for clear, professional understanding

• Consultation & advocacy to help individuals stay employed, thrive, and feel seen

• Support for employers to create inclusive policies, practices, and workspaces

This isn't charity. It's equity in action.

Why It Matters

Let’s face it—most work environments weren’t built with neurodivergent and intellectually disabled people in mind.

Rigid expectations. Noisy spaces. Fast-paced pressure.
It's not that people can't do the work. It's that the systems make it harder than it needs to be.

Diversity Included is here to flip that script. They don’t just help people get jobs—they help them keep them, excel in them, and feel proud doing so.

Who Do They Support?

• Adults with undiagnosed or misunderstood learning needs

• Individuals facing workplace burnout or job loss due to unrecognized disability

• Employers who want to retain talented neurodivergent staff

• Organizations looking to build inclusive policies and prevent turnover

The Power of a Diagnosis

For many, a diagnosis isn’t a label—it’s liberation.
It’s the difference between feeling “lazy” and realizing you process information differently, not incorrectly.

Diversity Included provides:

• Psychoeducational assessments

• Functional evaluations

• Support planning that’s actually useful

Once you know what you’re working with, you can work smarter, not harder.

What Employers Gain

Hiring diverse minds isn’t a liability. It’s a competitive advantage.

With Diversity Included’s consulting, employers learn how to:

• Adjust tasks to match cognitive strengths

• Communicate clearly and effectively

• Create sensory-safe work environments

• Meet legal and ethical obligations without the guesswork

Inclusion isn’t just a buzzword—it’s your business strategy.

Real Impact, Real People

From helping a warehouse employee avoid termination after a late diagnosis of dyscalculia, to guiding a government office in adapting interview processes for neurodivergent candidates — Diversity Included changes lives quietly, powerfully, and permanently.

Because inclusion isn’t about lowering the bar. It’s about changing the way we measure brilliance.
