NEUROKIN NETWORKS

Are you a neurodivergent student eager to boost your academic productivity? Join us for Body Doubling sessions, designed to provide a sense of accountability and the right amount of social pressure and structure.  

Body doubling is considered beneficial to ADHDers by people with lived experience and experts but may be helpful to anyone looking to improve productivity.

What to Expect

🤝 Supportive Environment: Connect with peers who understand your neurotype without the need for explanations or judgments.  

✨ Flexible Atmosphere: We will follow a loose structure of:  

• 10-minute check-in 
• 25-30 minute sprint 
• 5 minute brain dump  
• 10 minute brain break 
• 25-30 minute sprint 
• 5 minute brain dump  

Sessions are hybrid.  

⏲️Visual Supports: We will display a visual timer.  

We know everyone has different preferences for getting their work done, so we will have coloured sticky dots on hand that allow you to signal your body doubling preferences to staff.   

🟢 Help me break down my tasks into more manageable steps  

🟡 Check in with me periodically to make sure I’m on task  

🔴 Please do not disturb me

Are you an autistic student eager to make connections on campus? Join us for our next Connections Club, a collaboration between Equitable Learning Services and Psychology and Wellness to support community-building and placemaking for autistic students. 

What to Expect

🤝 Supportive Environment: Connect with peers who understand your neurotype without the need for explanations or judgments. We're here to uplift and empower each other. 

✨ Engaging Conversations and Activities: From shared interests to navigating university life, our discussions cover a wide range of topics in a relaxed atmosphere. We will also have some social games and activities on offer (e.g. role play, mindfulness colouring sheets, UNO, card games). Participation in each activity is optional. 

We know everyone has different communication preferences, so we will have coloured sticky dots on hand that allow you to signal your communication preferences to others.  

🟢 A green sticky dot signifies you will engage in conversation with anyone 

🟡 A yellow sticky dot signifies you wish to engage in short communication with people you already know 

🔴 A red sticky dot signifies that you do not currently wish to communicate with anyone
