UK Keynote – Atif Choudhury

We’re pleased to welcome Atif Choudhury as the UK Country Keynote speaker for Dag van de neurodiversiteit 2025, an international celebration that honors the diversity and strengths of neurodivergent people across more than 50 countries.

Atif Choudhury is a social entrepreneur and inclusion advocate who has dedicated his career to creating more equitable opportunities for disabled and neurodivergent individuals. As the CEO and co-founder of Diversity and Ability (D&A), Atif has worked to dismantle barriers in education and employment, ensuring that people have the tools and support they need to thrive.

His work is rooted in a commitment to intersectional inclusion, recognizing that factors like race, class, and culture shape people’s experiences and opportunities. In a recent article, Atif emphasized that “building equity around race, class, and culture allows all of us to bring our whole selves to work.” This perspective aligns with his broader vision of creating spaces where everyone’s identities are respected and valued, and where systemic inequities are acknowledged and addressed.

Atif’s background includes experience in innovation, human rights, and entrepreneurship, and his work has been recognized by organizations like the Disability Power 100. In his keynote, he will reflect on the ongoing journey toward creating inclusive and equitable workplaces and communities. He reminds us that inclusion is not just about compliance, but about fostering cultures where people feel genuinely seen and supported.

We appreciate Atif’s dedication to fostering inclusive practices and his willingness to engage with complex issues of identity and belonging. His keynote embodies the spirit of Neurodiversity Pride Day: creating spaces where neurodivergent voices can thrive alongside the broader diversity of human experience.

Please join us in welcoming Atif Choudhury, whose work highlights the importance of building equity in every part of our society—so that everyone can bring their whole selves to work, and to life.
