NEURODIVERSE SPORT
PROMOTING NEURODIVERSITY, AT EVERY LEVEL OF SPORT
At least 15% of the UK population is neurodivergent.
This percentage is likely to be much higher in reality with many individuals undiagnosed or choosing not to disclose their neurodivergent conditions.
In the UK, only 25% of neurodivergent individuals participate in sports and physical activities, compared to 40% of neurotypical individuals.
This highlights the need for more inclusive sports programmes and initiatives to encourage neurodivergent participation.
About 70% of neurodivergent individuals report experiencing misunderstanding or lack of support within sporting environments.
This highlights the need for sports coaches and initiatives to receive specific training regarding neuroinclusive practise in sport.
Yet neurodivergent people benefit disproportionately from participation in sports and physical activities, and many of the world's best athletes are neurodivergent.
Neuroinclusivity in sport will therefore benefit not only the neurodivergent community, but the entire sports sector: it's not a nice to have, it's a must have.
Workshops, Consultations, Speaking Engagements
Neurodiverse Sport provides workshops to empower sporting organisations and their neurodivergent athletes, consultations for tailored support, and speaker engagements to inspire inclusive sports environments.
We know that with the right understanding and support neurodivergent athletes & employees can put:
More of their energy into their performance and less into masking their conditions.
More focus on leveraging their unique strengths and less on conforming to neurotypical expectations.
More effort into achieving their goals and less on managing unnecessary stressors.
In collaboration with visionary teams
