The great time machine experiment

Answer 4 Short Questions

You’re invited to step into the Great Time Machine Experiment.

With the support of a Peer Support and Capacity Building Grant from Australia’s NDIA, we are creating resources for and with children with disability.

These resources aim to be used for individuals, small groups, and classrooms — in person or digitally. They can also be led by mentors with lived experience, clinicians, or educators. Importantly, they will be grounded in lived experience, clinical insight, and research.
