Understanding ADHD: Empowering Individuals with ADHD
Introduction to Our Neurodiversity Fast-Facts Series
This series of bite-sized, practical two-pagers is designed to help coaches, volunteers, teammates, and support staff better understand and include neurodivergent people in sport and physical activity.

✅ The medical definition (for context only)
✅ Common strengths often overlooked
✅ Practical things to keep in mind
✅ Empowering tips and myth-busting
✅ Easy-to-use strategies for support in real environments
Whether you're new to neuroinclusion or looking to deepen your understanding, these tools are made to be clear, practical, and respectful of difference.
