Do you identify as neurodivergent? Researchers at UNSW, UTS, and USyd seek neurodivergent people to share their experiences in neurodiverse-friendly public open spaces. You'll receive a $50 Coles voucher for your time.
What's involved?
This project aims to understand the environmental features that make public open spaces in Sydney accessible to neurodivergent users. Findings will identify traits that facilitate or hinder their usage and will inform the City of Sydney's inclusive public domain policy. If you agree to participate, you will complete screening, walking tour interviews, and photomapping during the tour.
