CLIENT

Leicestershire NHS Partnership Trust provides high-quality integrated mental health, learning disability and community health services. They run the local Autism Space: a free and safe online area providing clear, reliable and accessible advice and information about autism related topics and national website Health for Teens which introduces a new and different way for young people aged 11-19 to learn about their health.

BRIEF

To create three videos to support older children who have been referred for neurodiversity assessment. With waiting times for assessment at all-time high, these animations would explain what young people can expect throughout the process and give practical tips and techniques while waiting for a formal diagnosis.

RESULTS

This was a great opportunity to return to a cast of characters created for an earlier project produced in collaboration with Leicestershire NHS Partnership Trust.

This time around we were assisted by a Youth Advisory Board and took inspiration from the interests of our neurodivergent contributors, adding eye-catching anime-inspired graphics to illustrate the thoughts and experiences of the young people affected.

All three animations have gone down really well with the NHS team and the young people involved.

“The team at Kino Bino were great throughout, keeping us updated weekly with what they had been working on and versions to review. This made us feel as though we were actively involved in the project throughout too.”
