Neurodiversity and Sport

The term “neurodiversity” describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in different ways.

There is no one “right” way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences are not viewed as deficits. This webinar aims to inspire sports organisations, coaches, athletes, and supporters to foster a more inclusive and diverse sporting landscape.

In this webinar we will focus on how inclusive practices can create opportunities for neurodivergent individuals to thrive in sporting environments.  We will provide practical strategies to promote inclusivity and support neurodivergent athletes, coaches, and colleagues.

This webinar is hosted by Michelle Daltry, Head of Service Sport at Inclusive Employers.

She was the Partnership Manager for Disability Sport Wales, a post that she held for over 19 years, before joining the team. Michelle is passionate about supporting the sector to address inequalities within the workplace and out in the field of play. Find out more about Michelle.
