Learn from people with lived experience of disability as they discuss the barriers they can face and the ways in which simple adjustments and considerations can make a world of difference.
Experts will provide an introduction to the broad areas of disability/impairment, which will be the focus of AbilityNet’s upcoming in-depth training sessions:
- visual
- hearing
- physical
- mental health
- neurodivergence
You’ll find out more about some of the assistive technologies and tools available to address these barriers, how some assistive technologies offer support in ways that may surprise you, as well as the simple steps that everyone can take to avoid creating barriers in the first place.
Learning about real-life stories is the most powerful way to challenge assumptions, shatter taboos and help you to understand the changes you can make to ensure your working or learning environment welcomes everyone and excludes nobody.
The panel will discuss:
– misconceptions about disabilities
– the language used to describe different disabilities
– assistive technologies that the panel find most useful
The webinar includes an opportunity for attendees to pose questions to the panel.
