Neurodiversity and Aquatics

Explore strategies, aids, and supports to help neurodiverse participants thrive in aquatic environments.

This module provides essential insights for supporting neurodiversity in aquatic environments. Explore how aquatic settings foster physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development, understand elevated drowning risks for individuals on the autism spectrum and other neurodiverse participants, and examine key contributing factors.

We also explore swimming aids, sensory supports, and individualised, strengths-based strategies to enhance comfort, participation, and safety.
