OUR BRAND NEW SESSION. Starting recently this is newest community session, focusing on children with a neurodiversity condition, here is a little bit of information on what exactly Neurodiversity is:

The word neurodiversity refers to the diversity of all people, but it is often used in the context of autism spectrum disorder (, as well as other neurological or developmental conditions such as ADHD or learning disabilities. The neurodiversity movement emerged during the 1990s, aiming to increase acceptance and inclusion of all people while embracing neurological differences. Through online platforms, more and more autistic people were able to connect and form a self-advocacy movement. At the same time, Judy Singer, an Australian sociologist, coined the term neurodiversity to promote equality and inclusion of "neurological minorities." While it is primarily a social justice movement, neurodiversity research and education is increasingly important in how clinicians view and address certain disabilities and neurological conditions.

The session is relaxed and enjoyable focused on being active and playing football, we will try to get a one or two learning outcomes in every session but everyone is encouraged to go at there own speed.
