Green Circle - happy to chat with others, partake in group activities.
Blue Square - individual activities, do not want to be interrupted.
Both sessions will be held in CH004. Enter the library on level 1, turn left and go down the stairs, CH004 is on the left.
We will be reducing sensory stimuli as much as possible. We will have the overhead fluorescent lights turned off and have a series of lamps available. We will turn off PC's and other technology that create background noise.
We will have a range of furniture available, including tables, stationary table chairs and movable chairs. Furniture will be arranged so you can sit alone or in a group. You are welcome to sit on the floor.
We will be providing the following activities for you to partake in, either individually or in groups.
