TAKEMIND
TAKEMIND is a sensory information experience supporting the neurodiverse community, especially university students who wish to findout about neurodiversity and what support is available. It provides a hub where individuals can be signposted to areas of the university that would support them in their individual needs. This informative pop-up also raises awareness and tackles the stigma around neurodiversity. It offers a place where students can gain further knowledge, freely ask questions, be signposted to obtain further support and create conversation around neurodiversity.
