Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) doesn't discriminate, but its educational resources often do.There are no comprehensive resources geared to the neurodivergent T1D community. animaT1D exists to close that gap.

About animaT1D

video-cover-1

Managing Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) requires countless daily decisions, while only spending an average of three hours a year face-to-face with a clinician. This means 99% of care management is self managed. 

Tailored education is essential but conventional education resources are text-heavy and fail neurodivergent learners, non-English speakers, and those with geographic or access barriers.

animaT1D creates short, animated videos translating complex T1D information into visual stories, combining medical knowledge and lived experience. Created with neurodivergent individuals in mind, it also benefits anyone who prefers learning through visual storytelling.
