Since 2017, Creative Spirit has been working tirelessly to enhance neurodiverse inclusion in the workplace. This is even more important at a time when over 50% of Gen Z identifies as neurodivergent, but unemployment for the neurodivergent community is still staggeringly high. We are looking for partners to help expand our work, bringing meaningful recruitment and employment programs to the table. We are looking for allies to underwrite the most extensive diversity study on people who are neurodivergent, and those who are disproportionately impacted–women and people of color.

Creative Spirit was founded in 2017 to address a critical issue in the United States: the 85% unemployment rate among individuals who are neurodivergent. Despite important progress, such as the Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act in 2014, significant legislative changes have stalled since the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed in 1990. The ongoing existence of Section 14(c), which permits paying subminimum wages for individuals with disabilities, continues to hinder economic stability for this community. Creative Spirit is committed to challenging outdated laws like Section 14(c). We advocate at both the federal and state levels to ensure that the neurodivergent community has a voice in decisions that impact their lives. Join us and learn how to advocate for yourself, a family member, or as an ally by signing up for our emails— See form below.
Our Corporate Roundtable consists of top executives from organizations dedicated to Creative Spirit’s #HireDifferent principles. These organizations are actively working to integrate neurodivergent individuals through initiatives focused on recruiting, mentoring, and coaching.

Members of the Roundtable enjoy unlimited access to Creative Spirit intellectual property, job placement professionals, specialized workplace training, as well as apprenticeship and internship programs for employees with and without disabilities.

Creative Spirit has been at the forefront of employment and disability rights since 2017, brokering a dialogue that’s both inclusive and revolutionary. People with disabilities/neurodivergence comprise the largest minority demographic in the U.S. There are important segments of the disability community that demand our intentional and overt focus, like women, people of color, and women of color in particular. We are looking for partners to expand our work in this arena, bringing meaningful recruitment, identification, and employment programs to the table. This work is unprecedented, and Creative Spirit is devoted to making equity in disability an equal opportunity conversation. We are looking for allies to underwrite the most extensive diversity study on people with disabilities, those disproportionately impacted–women and people of color.
