  • Neurodivergent Athletes: What Do I Need to Know?
    Contains 8 Component(s), Includes Credits

    Neurodiversity means diversity of the human mind, and just as no injuries are exactly the same, neither is how people think and process. Athletic trainers learn the skills to evaluate injuries, respond in times of crisis, and rehabilitate injury; however in athletic training education there is limited training on working with individuals who may be neurodivergent. Learning more about neurodivergence and how that can impact athlete needs and performance is vital to providing a high standard of care.
