Assistive Technology Training

Software & hardware training for disabled users

I support individuals with a range of physical, mental and learning disabilities.

I support students who have been awarded DSA provision and employees who are receiving Access to Work grants.  

I am certified in a range assistive technology software and hardware which will make studies/work easier. 

When you are trained by me I carry out a training needs analysis and identify your learning styles which allows me to tailor training to your individual needs.  I provide guides to back up your learning and links to further materials and videos to ensure that, after I leave, you can revisit any skills we have covered.  I give ongoing support by email or Skype if you need it once you start using your software.  I want to ensure that you get the best from your software and use it to improve your productivity and skills.

As a qualified teacher I can also work with school aged children and their parents to recommend software, hardware, features and apps which can be used to support students with SpLD (specific learning difficulties)
