Neurodiverse study sessions

A supportive group writing session for students who identify as neurodivergent. Write with a bunch of people who have writing goals just like you, in an environment that suits your needs.

About this event

The Library, Equitable Learning Services and RUSU are running eight sensory sensitive study sessions that will be inclusive of those students in our community who identify as neurodivergent. This is what you can expect from these sessions: 

  • Dimmed lights
  • Quietness (but not dead silence)
  • Space to spread out in a large room 
  • Structured breaks
  • Healthy snacks and some sensory toys 
     

What are neurodiverse study sessions?

  • A supportive group writing session – write with a bunch of people who have writing goals
  • Writing is broken up into short bursts of 25 minutes with a break in-between (The Pomodoro Technique)
     

What neurodiverse study sessions are not:

  • A taught course or educational session on how to write
  • Competitive, ego-filled or critical. Students can write and study in a friendly environment
