Frequently Asked Questions
These are the questions HR teams ask us most: what the roadmap includes, how the two versions differ, what your team gets on day one, and how our eleven video modules fit into a week that is already full. Whether you’re an HR professional, a hiring manager, or part of a leadership team, the answers below should tell you what you need before you buy.
Spectrum Roadmap trains your HR team to recruit, hire, and support neurodivergent talent, and then stays with them while they do it. It’s built for HR leads, hiring managers, and the people who own how your company hires.
• Training: eleven video modules taught by Debra Solomon, plus an employee education video to share with the wider company.
• A private Slack channel for your HR team, with our team in it.
• HR AI tools: a job description review and an interview question review.
• Coaching with Debra: group coaching on the community calls, and private sessions if you choose Premium.
Everything lives in your account at app.spectrumroadmap.com.
The Essential Roadmap, $4,997, is the self-guided version. Your team works through the eleven modules at its own pace, uses the HR AI tools, asks questions in your private Slack channel, and gets group coaching from Debra on the community calls.
The Premium Roadmap, $9,997, adds Debra working with your team privately:
• A customized assessment of how your organization hires and manages today.
• Four private Zoom sessions with Debra across four months.
• Our fulfillment team working with your HR leads to personalize the roadmap, and to help write and review your job descriptions and interview questions.
• Debra in your Slack channel between sessions.
After the four months, more sessions with Debra are available a la carte.
Unlimited seats for your HR team, at one price. You don’t buy a license per person and you don’t have to choose who gets in.
After you buy, our fulfillment team reaches out and sets up logins for everyone on your HR team. Each person gets the eleven modules, the employee education video, the HR AI tools, and a seat in your private Slack channel. The employee education video is there to share with the wider company as well.
Course access is controlled by your organization’s record, so your team keeps access while the roadmap is yours.
Our fulfillment team reaches out to you first. Here is the order it happens in:
• Logins: we set up an account for everyone on your HR team.
• Slack: your private channel opens in the Spectrum Roadmap workspace, with our team in it.
• Training: the eleven modules and the employee education video are waiting in your account.
Everything lives at app.spectrumroadmap.com, and you sign in with Google or with an email and password. If you bought Premium, our team also schedules your assessment and your first private session with Debra.
Eleven modules, two to six minutes each, about 44 minutes in total. It’s short on purpose. A manager will finish 44 minutes, and will not finish a day of training.
Two ways teams run it:
• Watch a module together at the start of a team meeting and talk it through while it’s fresh.
• Assign a module for the week, then bring the questions to the Thursday community call.
There is also the employee education video, “Autism in the Workplace,” six minutes, to share with the wider company. Your team can rewatch any module at any time.
Two reviewers, and both are included with Essential and Premium.
• Job description review: paste in the job description you’re about to post. You get back the lines that screen capable people out, with clearer rewrites.
• Interview question review: paste in the questions you’re about to ask. You get back a version that shows what a candidate can actually do.
They live in your account at app.spectrumroadmap.com, and everyone on your HR team can use them. They were built from the roadmap curriculum and reviewed by Debra.
Every other Thursday at 10 am Eastern, on Zoom, with Debra. Bring a real situation: an interview coming up, an accommodation request you’re not sure how to answer, a review you have to write. Debra works through it live with the group.
If you bought either roadmap, your team is included.
For individuals, the calls come with live call access:
• $119 a month.
• $428 every four months, which works out to $107 a month, save 10%.
• $1,143 a year, which works out to $95 a month, save 20%.
Cancel anytime.
Yes. The Spectrum Roadmap community Slack workspace is free to anyone who creates an account at app.spectrumroadmap.com. No card, no purchase.
The free workspace does not include the Thursday calls. Those come with live call access, or with either roadmap.
If you buy a roadmap, your team also gets its own private channel inside that same workspace, with the Spectrum Roadmap team in it. That is where your HR leads bring the cases they would rather not post in the open.
Yes. Both roadmaps come with a 14-day money-back guarantee. If it turns out not to be the right fit for your team, tell us within 14 days of purchase and we will refund you.
Payment is by card at checkout through Shopify. We do not have an invoice or purchase order path, so if your finance team usually works that way, plan on the card.
For anything about billing, a receipt, or a refund, email sarah@spectrumroadmap.com.
Most of the accommodations that work are simple and low cost. An agenda sent before the meeting. A quieter desk. Instructions written down instead of said in passing. Interview questions shared ahead of time.
The training walks your managers through which accommodations actually help, how to handle a request without turning it into a process, and where the real cost usually sits, which is time and attention rather than money. If you want help fitting all of this into how your organization is already set up, that is what your Slack channel and the Thursday calls are for.
