Libraries,\u00a0universities\u00a0and workplaces all play\u00a0an important role\u00a0in creating environments where neurodivergent people can thrive. One way we can contribute is by learning from neurodivergent voices and engaging with research, lived experience and practical tools that help build more inclusive spaces.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At Deakin Library, we wanted to\u00a0share some recommendations from our collections and beyond to explore this week.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
