Recently I chatted to ABC Riverland about the role of Dungeons & Dragons to promote social growth in those who are neurodivergent (ND) and those who are neurotypical (NT). Our research suggests that playing TTRPGs like D&D can help both ND and NT individuals grow socially as they learn to more deeply understand how our different brains work through playing the game.
It was lovely to hear about the great work that Jay Green is doing in the Riverland to promote and run D&D sessions that are inclusive and engaging!
