Acknowledgements

This guide was created by Lisa Hanlon (TUS Athlone Disability Service). I would like to extend special thanks to my project partner Kathy Heavey (TUS Athlone Student Counselling Service) for her invaluable support throughout the development of these resources. Kathy and I worked closely together on the Fidget Library, and her insights were integral to ensuring the success of this project. Kathy is a champion for neurodiverse students, continually promoting the importance of understanding sensory challenges and advocating for improved support for neurodiverse students.

Our sincere thanks to the students who consulted with us throughout the project; your feedback was greatly appreciated and helped shape both the guide and the Fidget Library.

We are also grateful to Broze O’Donovan (TUS Midwest Disability Service) for her collaboration to extend the Fidget Library to the Midwest campuses, further enhancing the impact of this initiative.

I would like to express my gratitude to Maura Flynn, the TUS Open Educational Resources (OER) Librarian, for her exceptional guidance and support in the creation of this Pressbook. Please contact TUS Library to learn more about TUS Open Press and how you can share your work using Pressbooks.

We also wish to acknowledge NTUTORR for providing the funding that made this project possible.

Finally, our appreciation goes to the wider TUS community for fostering an environment of collaboration and innovation, making projects like this one possible. Thank you to everyone who has supported, contributed, and made this guide a reality.
