6. Neurodiversity Resources
It's estimated that 15-20% of children and young people in the UK are neurodivergent, meaning they have brains that function differently from what is considered typical. This figure equates to approximately one in five children and includes conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, and Tourette's syndrome.
It is likely that whilst coaching one of our youth teams, you are coaching a neurodivergent child. Below are some resources to support you to ensure they are able to access your sessions alongside their neurotypical team mates.
