Body Doubling/Neurodivergent Study Space

A Duck Nest and AEC Collaboration

Explore the Power of Body Doubling at AEC & Duck Nest’s Neurodivergent-Friendly Study Space! Body doubling involves working alongside someone independently to promote accountability, foster focus and motivation, and reduce isolation. If you get easily distracted while studying, if it is helpful for you to have a quiet environment to study in that’s not the library, or if you want to explore the benefit of fidget tools while studying, this is the place for you! The Duck Nest and AEC will provide the space, facilitators, and some materials to help you start or complete your academic tasks, or to provide support with things like goal setting, breaking down tasks, and more.

Snacks and fidget tools will be provided. Students present can also enter a raffle that will occur at the end of the term for a DuckBucks giftcard.

Day/Time/Location for Winter term 2025:

  • Day/Time: Fridays from 12-2pm (starting week 2)
