At Neurodiverse Sport, we empower coaches, sports organisations, and communities to create inclusive spaces where neurodivergent individuals can thrive.
Through specialised workshops, tailored resources, and innovative tools, we help individuals and teams foster environments that truly celebrate neurodiversity.
"The UK Sports Institute is excited to work with Neurodiverse Sport on this pilot aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of neurodiversity in the context of high performance sport. Through her organisation Neurodiverse Sport, Caragh McMurtry is doing great work in this area. As well learning from Caragh’s own experiences, in these sessions the participants will gain an understanding of neurodiversity as a concept and consider ways to make their own sporting environments more neuroinclusive."
Sam Cumming,
Head of Mental Health at the UK Sports Institute
"I have had several interactions with Caragh and Mikey, and each time has been enlightening and inspiring. Their dedication to making a positive impact is truly remarkable, and they share a wealth of expertise, experience and insight. Their openness to helping groups learn, encouraging questions, and fostering curiosity is invaluable. Whether you are holding an event, wanting a workshop or needing specific advice and guidance, they have so much to offer. I highly recommend everyone getting closer to the brilliant work they are doing so we can all contribute to a more inclusive sporting landscape!"

"I am a Chartered Sport and Exercise Psychologist working with a wide range of athletes from those starting out to Olympic champions. Very little of our training as sport psychologists focuses on neurodiversity and so as practitioners we need to find our own routes to developing skills in this area. Caragh and Neurodiverse Sport have been invaluable for this. Caragh has been an expert consultant when I have struggled to find solutions for athletes with autism and offered guidance and ideas that I have used to help them thrive and feel more comfortable in their sporting environments. Learning from Caragh means I have been able to support more athletes with autism and help them stay and enjoy their sports."

“Neurodiverse sport’s workshop was one of the highlights of our EDI event this summer. They managed to inform and educate the audience in an engaging manner. By drawing upon their personal experiences, Caragh and Mikey showed the benefits that making workplaces more aware about neurodiversity will bring to everyone.”
Simon Taylor,
Chief Executive Professional Players Federation
"The Neurodiversity in Sport webinar run by Neurodiverse Sport gave a real-life insight into sport delivery for those who are Neurodiverse, as well as giving ideas of simple ways to maximise inclusion. What sets this webinar apart is Caragh’s real-life experience, which brings things to life and is delivered with passion and drive for change."
Vicky Moulder,
Sports Development Officer, UWE Bristol Sport
"Caragh delivered one of the most warmly received sessions of our 2023 annual conference. The powerful and personal account that she gave in “Being yourself: neuroinclusion and neurodiversity in sport” was truly thought-provoking: it shed a fascinating light on her career and experiences, prompted the audience to reflect on their own organisations, and balanced perfectly a positive call to action with a stark illustration of the obstacles facing neurodivergent people in sport and other sectors."
Craig Beeston
Programme Manager for the Sports Governance Academy
"Paddle UK partnered with Neurodiverse Sport to develop a mini-series of resources about neurodiversity, and how the paddling community could create more inclusive and welcoming spaces for neurodivergent paddlers. This was a topic area that we knew our coaches, leaders, clubs and members were keen to learn more about, and we were so grateful to have the expertise and guidance of Caragh and the team to support its development.
The mini-series was brilliantly received, and it was great to work with Caragh and the team on such a crucial topic in sport - thanks to Neurodiverse Sport for supporting this journey."

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Lead at Paddle UK
