Promoting physical activity among neurodiverse students—are we doing it right?

Neurodivergent students constitute a growing proportion of children and young people today, yet they still face significant obstacles to participating in sports and physical activities both in and outside of school. Addressing these challenges begins with understanding them. This course will provide insights into the unique interests, strengths, and needs of neurodiverse students, techniques for adapting PE and other physical activities, and the considerable benefits of inclusive practices that extend beyond activity levels and participation rates.

• The disparity in physical activity levels between neurodiverse students and their peers.

• The barriers that neurodiverse students encounter in being active and participating in sport, both in school and beyond.

• Findings from international research studies, exploring how best to bridge this gap and foster more inclusive environments for all young people.

• PE Leads

• Directors of Sport

• Mainstream teachers

• Sports coaches and trust programme leads

• HAF providers

• Regional CYP managers and providers

• Development officers

• Local authority leads
