Keeping teenagers with Autism and/or ADHD active and involved in sport
SASMA, have been awarded funding support from the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing, to deliver and provide Autism and ADHD educational training resources for sporting clubs.
Our aim is for this program to make a practical difference on the sideline for individuals, families and clubs.
Sport builds confidence, connection, and belonging. Yet many neurodivergent teenagers, including autistic and ADHD individuals, continue to face barriers that make participation harder than it needs to be.
This guide helps clubs make small, practical changes that create a big impact — opening the door for more young people to be active, connected, and valued within your sporting community.
