Neurodiverse study sessions

Join sensory-sensitive study sessions for RMIT students who identify as neurodivergent.

About this event

Library Study Support, Equitable Learning Services and RUSU are running weekly sensory sensitive study sessions for students in our community who identify as neurodivergent. This is what students 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
