3 Summary of Week 3

This week has focused on the family’s perspective of neurodiversity in sport coaching. You have heard the voices of caregivers as they describe their role in not only supporting an athlete access coaching sessions and competitions, but also as key sources of information about an athlete’s individual needs, strengths and wishes. The significance of providing resources such as social stories and visual timetables to help athletes and their caregivers to navigate their experiences of coaching and competitions was also highlighted.

In the final week of study, you will explore the coach’s perspective of neurodiversity in sport and exercise, hearing their voices and drawing together key elements from the whole course to reflect on how those working within sport and exercise can improve their practice to better support neurodivergent individuals.

You can now go to Week 4.
