Abstract

The principal objective of this study is to gauge the benefit of having a space available to neurodivergent students that features the opportunity to engage with a selection of immersive software. The study will focus on examining the stimulative properties of immersive software sessions and how it could positively engage the mind, or offer a temporary mental “escape” from the stresses of university life. Through this study, we aim to shed light on the potential benefits neurodivergent students could reap from having access to such a space on campus.
