Neurodiversity at Work – Interview with Prof. Amanda Kirby

The Neurodiverse Safe Work Initiative is proud to launch the first episode of our new LinkedIn Webinar Series on Neurodiversity at Work, featuring one of the world’s foremost experts in the field — Professor Amanda Kirby.

A globally recognised thought leader, Amanda is the Co-Founder and CEO of Do-IT Solutions, an award-winning tech-for-good company delivering innovative screening tools, platforms, and neurodiversity training across education, criminal justice, and employment sectors. Over the past decade, she has grown Do-IT from a start-up into a trusted international provider supporting thousands of neurodivergent individuals and organisations worldwide.

Amanda brings a uniquely valuable perspective to her work. As a neurodivergent person, and a parent and grandparent within a neurodiverse family, she blends lived experience with deep professional expertise. A qualified GP with a PhD in Education, Amanda is an Emeritus Professor at the University of South Wales and an Honorary Professor at Cardiff University.

She has authored more than 100 peer-reviewed publications and written 10 books, including the widely acclaimed Neurodiversity at Work and Neurodiversity and Education. Amanda is also Chair of the ADHD Foundation, a recognised Disability Confident Leader, and is currently working on her 11th book: Neurodiversity and Parenting.

Her influence continues to shape global conversations about neuroinclusion in the workplace and beyond. Amanda’s generous mentorship, wisdom, and advocacy for neurodivergent talent are making a lasting impact, and we are incredibly honoured to have her join us for this important conversation.
