Applying for Access to Work can feel overwhelming, particularly when organisation, form-filling and explaining your needs are already difficult.
 
The Access to Work and ADHD Application Toolkit breaks the preparation process into clear, manageable steps. Its practical prompts and fillable worksheets help you connect ADHD-related challenges to real workplace tasks, describe their impact and consider what support may make a meaningful difference.
 
Inside the toolkit, you will find:
 
A workplace challenges checklist
Prompts exploring how ADHD affects your work
A Task–Barrier–Impact–Support mapping exercise
Ideas for possible workplace support
Guidance on reasonable adjustments and Access to Work
Application and assessment preparation checklists
Sentence builders for explaining your needs clearly
A completed workplace example
Employer conversation planning pages
Award, support and claims trackers
Review and next-step worksheets
 
You can type directly into the toolkit, save your responses and return to each section when you are ready. You do not need to complete everything at once.
 
Ideal for employees, self-employed people and adults preparing to start or return to work.
