Understanding Disability: It’s About People, Not Labels
People with disabilities are just regular individuals – family members, friends, colleagues, managers, and customers. The importance of workplace disability awareness training cannot be underestimated. Many people feel awkward when communicating with or assisting individuals with disabilities, often out of fear of offending them. This can lead to avoidance or panic, which is not conducive to providing exemplary customer service or fostering an inclusive organisational culture. Our online disability awareness training course challenges these preconceived notions and inspires new ways of thinking, re-educating staff and employees to interact more effectively and empathetically.
Tailored Training for Specific Needs
While our primary course focuses on general disability awareness, we also offer specialised packages such as Online Visual Impairment Awareness Training and Deaf Awareness Training. These courses provide in-depth knowledge and practical skills tailored to specific disabilities, ensuring a comprehensive understanding and capability.
