Overview

Do you have a strategy in place for dealing with reasonable adjustments to support employees with impairments or learning difficulties?

With around two million people in the UK affected by dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, visual impairment or hearing problems, it makes sense to have a good understanding of how to support staff with these impairments in the workplace.

In this webinar, Posturite Enablement Consultant, Howard Chambers, will be looking at the most common Assistive Technology assessments including Dyslexia, Sight Loss & Hearing Loss.

He will also show some examples of assistive software such as ScreenReading technology, Dyslexia support software, Voice to Text technology and some of the new innovations available that can help transform people's lives and enable them to reach their full potential
