Staff Development Training, Workshops and Seminars

We offer tailored seminars and workshops that match the requirements of your schools, organisation or institution. These are lead by our highly qualified consultants who understand the challenges dyslexic people face. They can help you to match assistive technology to your needs and develop learning and workplace strategies. Each event is adapted to your requirements but here are a few examples of what we can do:

For Schools, Colleges, Universities and Needs Assessment Centres

Hands-on workshops giving participants a chance to gain experience on one or more programs, compare and contrast a variety of technology or learn how to apply the technology to your learner’s environment.
Full or half-day seminars introducing assistive technology or updating you on the latest developments to help assist with specific learning difficulties and dyslexia.
Continuing Professional Development for Needs Assessors presenting the latest approaches to matching technology to individual’s needs, evaluating technology and supporting students.
Staff development for learning support staff on how to integrate technology into their study skills sessions.

For HR Professionals, Managers and Job Centre Disability Officers

We also offer the opportunity to train groups of professionals who manage or work with people with dyslexia in the workplace. Whether the brief is to raise awareness amongst senior managers, help an individual or a combination of both, we offer a variety of training delivery formats to help your staff deliver best practice. Example themes could include:

Coaching managers: how to brief and manage people with dyslexia effectively
Individual workplace strategies for employees with dyslexia.
Creating the right work environment (reviewing the physical environment also).
How to get the most out of assistive technology and software in the workplace.

We also run product briefing days for professionals who might need training on assistive technology for the workplace. We can tailor the session to your specific needs, whether in-depth training on single products or a gaining a comprehensive overview of ‘what’s new’, to help raise general awareness and encourage wider use amongst staff members and employees.
