Understanding Neurodiversity
Introduction to our RFU Resources
These resources were developed by Neurodiverse Sport in collaboration with the Rugby Football Union (RFU) to support coaches in building more inclusive environments for neurodivergent players. We are proud to host these materials on our own platform, with the RFU’s kind permission, to help widen access and reach communities who may benefit from these resources across a range of sporting and educational settings.
We kindly ask that you do not copy, reproduce, or redistribute the content without permission. For the full collection of coaching tools and CPD opportunities, please visit the RFU Coach Resources page.
Resource 1. Understanding Neurodiversity
This resource introduces the concept of neurodiversity and the value of different ways of thinking, learning, and behaving.
Highlight: It reminds us that neurodivergence is not about deficit but natural variation—and that difference should be respected, not fixed.
