Being yourself: neuroinclusion & neurodiversity in sport

Session

Neurodiversity and neuroinclusion are now a common part of ED&I conversations. With up to 20% of the population having a neurodivergent condition, understanding of the principles of neuroinclusion is essential. A greater awareness of neurodivergent strengths and vulnerabilities will help you to foster an environment that, in embracing neurodivergence, will allow your people to be themselves, thrive and ultimately excel in their positions.

Former Olympic rower and founder and Director of Neurodiverse Sport, Caragh McMurtry will share her experiences of overcoming adversity as an Autistic athlete. She will also share her observations as to how the sports sector as a whole, through better understanding of neurodivergence, would benefit from neuroinclusive practice becoming the norm.
