Neurodivergence Study Sessions - RMIT City Campus
Event description
Library Study Support, ELA and RUSU are running eleven+ sensory-sensitive study sessions this semester that will be inclusive of those students in our community who identify as neurodivergent. These sessions will have Library and Academic Skills specialists available with expertise in research, referencing, English language, writing skills, math and science queries, or study techniques.
This is what students can expect from these sessions:
- Calm space
- 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 Neurodivergence 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 Neurodivergence 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.
