Learn from disabled people about how you should adjust your working practices
Annie Mannion | 05 Apr 2022"Best online training session I have attended. Thanks for such a great session - lots of tips to take away. It was great to hear Adi's perspective as an assistive technology user."
That's the feedback from an attendee of one of our training sessions designed to highlight the barriers that disabled people experience.
AbilityNet has launched a selection of lived experience courses as part of its 'Don't Disable Me' series, that will provide attendees with a deep dive into the experiences of people of living with different disabilities and impairments. The courses focus on visual, hearing, physical, mental health and neurodiversity barriers.
A focus on disability inclusion in the workplace is a strategic imperative from a moral, legal and commercial standpoint. Get ahead in 2022 by learning how to adjust working practices to build a workplace that is inclusive by design and uses technology to enable all employees to perform at their best.
