SHAPE was built for the problems that keep coming back
Every manager handles it differently. There's no consistency.
SHAPE gives your whole management team one repeatable method - five steps they follow every time, so support doesn't depend on who the line manager happens to be.
Someone's just told their manager they're neurodivergent. Now what?
The guide includes a worked scenario walking through an ADHD disclosure step by step - what to say, what to document and what to do next, using the SHAPE framework in a real situation.
We put adjustments in place but nothing actually changed.
The Evaluate step closes the loop. You'll see how to review what's working, adapt what isn't and keep adjustments effective over time - not just ticked off and forgotten.
