Multiple organisations and charities (with neurodivergent leaders and innovators at their forefronts) that provide supportive resources and mentoring for neurodivegent inviduals are emerging. I am proposing that NTU partner and/or collaborate with innovative leaders to provide greater access to knowledge, support and resources for both neurodivergent and neurotypical students and staff. This may take the form of training sessions, guides and events specficially designed for neurodivergent minds.

    Hi, I have met with Maddison, the accessibility and disability network chair, and we have actioned some suggestions that I'll bring to the student union and the university. One of my elected manifesto points for next year was to improve the neurodiversity support for students, which forms a working group and guides for students. I'll consider other points you raised as well, please could you email me at olivia.brooks@su.ntu.ac.uk for further insight into what you wanted.
