NEW POST: The SEND reforms in the Schools White Paper reveal rights given, and rights stripped away— here is our initial overview www.specialneedsjungle.com/s... #SaveOurChildrensRights

A colourful poster recruiting children for a research study on visual comfort. The heading reads: “Autistic and non-autistic children needed for study of visual comfort levels,” with logos for the Sensory Processing, Inclusion and Neurodiversity Lab, University of Birmingham, and The Visual Comfort Project. Text explains that children aged 6 to 14 and their parents are invited to help researchers understand what images feel comfortable or uncomfortable to look at. The study can be done at the university or online and takes under two hours. Parents complete questionnaires. A section titled “Who can take part?” says children aged 6 to 14 with or without an autism diagnosis can join, and only ages 9 to 14 can take part online. A “Benefits” section lists a £10 voucher, travel costs, certificate, and summary of results for in-person participants, and a chance to win a £25 voucher online. Contact details are given for Dr Sam Tyler and Dr Cathy Manning. It states participants can withdraw at any time. The background shows a friendly illustrated garden scene with trees, a fence, a path, a dog playing with a ball, and a cat sitting nearby.

The University of Birmingham are finding out what Autistic and non-Autistic children aged 6 to 14 find comfortable and uncomfortable to look at. The findings will help make places and materials more comfortable.
