A Coaching Neurodiversity CPD will be taking place on the 17th and 24th March 2025.
BF Inclusion Officer (Disability) Rick Rodgers and Daniel Mynott from The Change Foundation will be leading an upcoming Coaching Neurodiversity CPD.
There will be two opportunities to take part in the course: Monday 17th March at 6-9pm and Monday 24th March at 12-3pm. These initial sessions are free for all BF members to attend.
The course is designed to give candidates an understanding of neurodiversity and how to run coaching sessions specific to fencers’ needs. It will cover specific challenges to those who identify as neurodiverse, different methods of inclusion, examples of situations, and tips for coaching.
The course will also discuss the results from the pilot of Fencing 4 Change, an ongoing project between BF and The Change Foundation. The findings from the initial pilot concluded that the fencing interventions delivered by coaches from The Change Foundation resulted in improvements within core physiological aspects of children with autism and positively impacted their everyday physical literacy skills.
