What Makes Our Training Different
This training is rooted in the lived experience of people with disabilities.
As a social enterprise, we work every day with people who face barriers to communication, understanding, and access. The training we deliver is shaped by these real interactions; by what excludes, what enables, and what genuinely makes life easier for people.
This focuses on helping people see communication through another person’s eyes, to understand how small design and content choices can either create barriers or open doors.
ACT supports individuals and teams to embed accessibility into everyday practice, so inclusion becomes part of how work is done, not an afterthought.
At its heart, this training is about lasting change, changing habits, perspectives, and systems so that accessibility is no longer an exception, but a shared responsibility across the organisation.
Testimonials
-Ciara Harrison (Learning and Public Engagement Curator, RHA)
“I attended four days of training with Liz on different aspects of accessibility. Liz was very informed and she offered training tailored specifically to our needs. The training was engaging, informative and practical. We were able to put into practice what we had learned very quickly.”
-Liam McSherry (Engineer in Residence, SERI)
“This training was eye opening. It helps you communicate to a broader audience. I did not realise how many people fall into categories that current communications do not serve well, including people who are colourblind and people using assistive technology.”
-Rebecca Gale (Marketing, RHA)
