Photo of PhD Candidate Sinead O'Brien in front of an academic research poster with the title "Nothing About Us Without A Bit Of Chaos - Participatory Adventures In Tangible Tech For Autism Acceptance"

Just won a PPI/Participatory Health Research award for my research poster at the @hri-ul.bsky.social HRI event in @unioflimerick! 🎉
It’s all about tangible tech + autism acceptance. Big thanks to Dr. Katie Crowley & Dr. Jon Salsberg for their support!
