About the Project
Neurodiverse Sport is thrilled to have partnered with US Rowing to create a ground-breaking educational resource for their Launch platform, focusing on understanding neurodivergent traits rather than simply labelling conditions. This innovative resource is a game-changer in the world of sport, empowering athletes, coaches, and staff to move beyond traditional diagnostic labels and focus on the unique traits and strengths of neurodivergent individuals.
The module provides actionable strategies for fostering neuroinclusive environments that celebrate differences, enhance communication, and improve performance. It addresses specific neurodivergent traits, offering insights directly applicable to training and coaching.
This partnership with US Rowing marks a major step in advancing neurodiversity awareness in sport—not just as a resource, but as part of a movement toward a more inclusive and supportive sports culture. As a leader in neurodiversity advocacy, Neurodiverse Sport is excited to bring this work to international sports organisations, helping them set new standards for inclusivity so every athlete feels seen, supported, and empowered.
