Succeeding Through Sport: Positive Benefits For Neurodiverse Minds

SENsational - The Special Educational Needs Podcast

Show Notes

For many, there is much joy in going for a run, a nice long walk or taking part in a team game, and we know the positive impact exercise can have on both adults and children; peace of mind, freedom and feel-good factor to name a few.

In this podcast, we discuss the positive impact that exercise can have on our neurodiverse children and young people, whilst recognising that, for some, it might not always feel like something they want to get involved in.

However, with encouragement and some imaginative ideas on what exercise can look like, we can help develop skills, friendships and confidence that will benefit our children for the rest of their lives. Ed Wright, Deputy Head Teacher at both Avon Park and Dovetree Tree Schools is our guide and expert speaker on this session and a very passionate advocate of exercise.

We hope you enjoy listening! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
