LIVEND: Live music inclusion at venues and events for neurodivergent people

Ongoing

Around 94% of autistic people process sensory input differently, but despite significant difficulties with lights, sounds, and smells in public places (experienced as painful and overwhelming), many autistic people find music to be a sensorially heightened pleasurable experience and are passionate about attending live music. However, venues/events are often inaccessible for autistic and other neurodivergent people.

Woking in partnership with Keren MacLennan, Durham Univeristy and the Royal Albert Hall, this state-of-the-art project will change live music accessibility and inclusion for autistic and other neurodivergent people (neuro-inclusion), engaging new stakeholders and policymakers to achieve this.

This project will benefit autistic/neurodivergent people and their families at a major iconic venue. It will also include policy objectives to to improve neuro-inclusion at live music venues/events on a wider scale.
