Autism in Rugby
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.
