My name is George and I am the Neurodiversity Officer for BHRFC.
I can support coaching staff with guidance on supporting their neurodiverse players and can provide signposting for parents of young players. I’m also happy to speak to adult players whether they have a diagnosis or not, about strategies to support their engagement with rugby and the club..
