Once we've introduced the session's games, we help everyone get into our private servers. In-game session leaders guide participants or encourage free-play. They narrate the group's successes, encourage co-operation, help individuals and the groups problem-solve and are on-hand for technical support. Participants can also DM (direct message) session leaders if they need one-on-one help.


At the end of each session we collect recommendations for follow-on session and factor these into our session planning and server updates!

    Young people explore how they take in and process sensory information, and what that means about their own unique needs and preferences, and how they can adopt tools and techniques to feel more comfortable in educational and social environments and out-and-about. For ages 8-13 we start to think about our internal senses and how improving awareness of our internal senses can help us manage our wellbeing. For ages 13-18 we look in depth at how to strengthen our interoception, how to understand auditory processing differences and itimpact on school and friendships, and how we can 'design our day' to ensure we charge our sensory battery.

    This session encourages young people to think about what makes a good friend, focusing on the huge strengths that our neurodivergent traits can bring.
