Neuro-Inclusive Business Audit

Many dog businesses want to be inclusive! Very few have actually looked at their services through a neurodivergent lens.

Whether you want the full audit, or to just chat through things with a Starter Support Power Hour, I have options to help your services become more inclusive for your neurodivergent clients.

My business audits are guided by my unique SEEN framework, a neuro-inclusive lens designed to understand how people, dogs, and environments interact.

By exploring the human experience, the setup of the business, the emotional impact, and what needs adjusting, I can make practical recommendations that genuinely support neurodivergent clients and professionals.

The audit is underpinned by my SEEN Framework, a neuro-inclusive lens I use to understand people, environments, emotions and needs before recommending change.

A 60-minute conversation to get to know you, your business and the people you work with.

We’ll talk through what you offer, who you work with, how your business currently operates, and anything that feels challenging, unclear or difficult to navigate.

This is a supportive space to talk things through, ask questions and explore your business from a neuro-inclusive perspective.

The session also gives us an opportunity to explore whether a Neuro-Inclusive Business Audit would be useful for your business. If it is, we can talk through what that could look like. If it isn’t, that’s absolutely fine too.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of your business and the opportunity to explore what neuro-inclusive support could look like for you.


A Neuro-Inclusive Business Audit is a deep, supportive review of your business, looking at the experience your clients have from first contact through to aftercare.

There are two levels of audit available, depending on how much of your business you want to explore:

Light Audit
A focused review of one core service or client journey, ideal if you have a particular area you’d like to understand or improve.

Full Audit
A more comprehensive review of your client journey across your business, from first contact through to aftercare.

Both are designed to identify where neurodivergent clients may experience confusion, overwhelm, anxiety or barriers to access, and where small changes could make the experience clearer and more accessible.

It’s not about judgement or doing things wrong. It’s about understanding the experience you’re creating for your clients and finding opportunities to make your business work better for everyone.


Who this audit is for

This audit is designed for:

  • Dog trainers and behaviourists
  • Canine therapists and practitioners
  • Dog daycare, boarding, and walking businesses
  • Training schools and academies

Especially if:

  • Clients often seem overwhelmed or anxious
  • People don’t read information or miss key details
  • You get repeated questions about expectations
  • Clients drop out, disengage, or struggle to follow plans
  • You want to be genuinely inclusive, not just well-intentioned

The audits are primarily designed for small and independent dog businesses. If you run a larger organisation or have a more complex business structure, please get in touch before booking so we can discuss your requirements.


What the Neuro-Inclusive Business Audit looks at

We review your client journey, including:

  • First contact and discovery
  • Website clarity and accessibility
  • Language, tone, and expectations
  • Booking and onboarding processes
  • Communication methods and boundaries
  • Service delivery, including classes or 1:1s
  • Sensory and cognitive load
  • Aftercare, follow-ups, and ongoing support

Throughout the audit, we focus on:

  • Reducing overwhelm
  • Improving clarity and predictability
  • Supporting executive function differences
  • Respecting sensory needs
  • Creating safer, more accessible experiences
  • Removing barriers that can help clients engage more confidently, enjoy your services, return, recommend you and build a stronger relationship with your business.

Because neuro-inclusive practice isn’t just about making things better for your clients. It’s about creating a better client experience that can support engagement, retention, reputation and sustainable business growth.


How the audit works

Step 1: Pre-audit questionnaire
Before we meet, you’ll complete a short form sharing information about your services, website, communication methods, and any challenges you’ve noticed. This gives me the context I need to understand your business before our chat.

Step 2: Discovery consultation
We’ll have a 60-minute online (or in-person if local) session where we talk through how your services actually run, the journey your clients experience, and any areas you’d like to improve. This ensures I have the full picture before completing the audit.

Step 3: Audit and written action plan
After our consultation, I’ll bring together everything I’ve learned from your questionnaire, pre-audit review, website, service details and our conversation to complete your audit and create a clear, prioritised action plan.

You’ll receive practical recommendations, quick wins and clear guidance to help you make meaningful changes towards a more neuro-inclusive business.

Optional Step 4: Follow-up / implementation support (Audit Plus tier)
If you choose this level, we’ll check in after you’ve started implementing changes. You’ll have two weeks of implementation support, during which I can help refine processes, review copy and offer advice to help make the changes stick.

No overwhelm. No unrealistic expectations. No pressure to change everything at once.
