Why This Work

One in five people is neurodivergent.

Autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia — neurodivergence isn't rare, it's underrecognized. Most workplaces were designed without these minds in mind, and the result is a silent, systemic cost: talented people masking, burning out, or leaving entirely.

The fix isn't accommodation as an afterthought. It's building environments where neurodivergent employees are supported from day one — in how you hire, how you manage, and how you build culture.

That's not just good ethics. It's good business. Organizations that invest in neurodiversity inclusion see higher retention, stronger innovation, and more engaged teams across the board.

About

Heather Amelotte

HR expertise. Lived experience.

I'm an AuDHD HR professional with 7+ years building people systems that actually account for how humans work — not just how we assume they do.

As founder of The Ameliorate Effect, I bring both the technical grounding of an HR strategist and the first-person clarity of someone who has navigated these systems as a neurodivergent professional. That combination changes the conversation.

I'm a Lead Ambassador for the Neurodiversity and Accessibility Network (NDAN) within the Transform platform — a global community of 120+ chapters advancing inclusion across industries.
