NdS IN THE COMMUNITY

Building Neuroinclusive Sports Environments

NdS in the Community is a regional initiative designed to bridge the gap between community-led sports teams, clubs, and organisations seeking greater awareness and education around neurodiversity in sport. Whether you’re noticing an increase in neurodivergent athletes, participants, coaches, or volunteers—or simply want to develop more inclusive practices—our workshops provide the knowledge and tools to foster meaningful change. We partner with funders, source community spaces, and survey the needs of local clubs to ensure our sessions are relevant and impactful. By registering, clubs gain access to our expertise as we connect the dots between different sports, creating an environment where knowledge-sharing and innovation thrive. We find that multi-sport workshops work particularly well, encouraging fresh perspectives and collaborative problem-solving. Every session generates valuable insights, equipping coaches and volunteers with the confidence to adapt their approach and build truly inclusive environments where neurodivergent individuals can thrive.
