For the older kids generally, is NYLT training available where you're located?  That may be what they need to get on track for dealing with a variety of scouts.

For adults, your district's or council's University of Scouting should offer training that specifically covers inclusion and special needs.  Wood Badge training (should be offered by your council) could also be useful.  [/quote]

We’re in the Far East Council currently and we don’t have the NYLT locally.  Maybe I should advocate for that. The precursor youth leadership class doesn’t seem to have any info in it from what I saw in the local facilitation. Maybe I should start there.

I am also not finding any inclusion contacts on the council here. And it doesn’t seem like we collect any data to make a case for that role.

Well, I guess we can try to build something locally.  In our troop of 60, I know of 11 scouts with ADHD, 4 with autism, and 5 with dyslexia/ dysgraphia. So the need is definitely there.
