Understanding Neurodiversity in Grassroots Sport is a comprehensive training course designed to educate coaches, players, officials, parents/carers/guardians and volunteers involved in grassroots sport on supporting neurodiverse participants and their families.
Learn strategies for:
While helping neurotypical individuals understand the challenges faced by players with ADHD, autism and other neurodevelopmental conditions.
Equip yourself and your club with the tools to create a more inclusive, supportive, successful and safe environment - and reduce the risk of unlawful discrimination under the Equality Act (2010).
At the ripe old age of 62 and been involved in grassroots sport for many years I didn’t think there was much I would learn. How wrong was I! I came away with an increased knowledge and an ability now to see and understand ND.
I look at past incidents in a different light and will now use this knowledge to push for all coaches to be equally trained.
It is a travesty that this is not mandatory.
I will add that had this been online training it simply would not have had the impact it did. The ability to see and ask questions live, but also have real life examples brought home the learning.
I served as a police officer for 33 years and have to say few courses I attended have had such an impact. Thank you again.
Fantastic – definitely exceeded my expectations, it was really thorough and incredibly useful.
The course was really excellent, and I’ve taken away lots of knowledge to now feed back into our club.
This has been incredibly useful,
I’m very grateful to have learnt SO much this evening – thank you.
Great information and superb delivery.
Thank you.
I really enjoyed hearing from other coaches and their ideas and approaches. Thank you for all your work in raising awareness and understanding on this topic, much appreciated.
Thank you so much for running such an informative and engaging session. It was fantastic to be a part of and I’m looking forward to implementing some changes across our team/coaching.
Excellent session. Was exceptional value for money and was worth every penny. Exceeded my expectations.
And all the content provided should be mandatory content on courses.
It was a very well presented and thought provoking session. It's nice to get ideas from other coaches as well who have to deal with similar situations. I am probably best described as old school so very much a new learning curve for myself.
Certainly think that some of it needs to be added into the Core Coaching qualification to help all Coaches better understand the needs that some kids may require.
Superb session, it certainly opened up my knowledge of ND and the wide number of characteristics which I can assimilate to those in my club. Thank you for the session, I will be highly recommending it to my club that managers attend future sessions.
Great course loads to take back to the club. I live with this everyday so I already do 90 percent of the stuff talked about but I know lots of teams at the club don't so will be very beneficial for them.
Thanks for the session, really helpful and great to hear from other coaches too about their approaches. Will definitely hold a session with my club's coaches!
Really great informative evening, with speaker given great insights into the subject matter. Also great to have discussions around personal experience spoken but also comments added into chat. A great way to do both. Thank you for such a great evening.
This session was incredibly informative and much more detailed than I anticipated. It was very helpful.
The course was brilliant and there was so much new information.
Thank you so much! Such an amazing session!
Excellent training.
Really informative.
