What is Immersive Disability Awareness Training?
Disability awareness training can help you uncover possible missed opportunities regarding disability inclusion within your organisation, as well as show you methods to help your business better support people with disability.
Immersive Disability Awareness Training is a great way to enhance your organisation’s knowledge and understanding of disability. You and your team will participate in an Immersive Experience, where you will have the opportunity to explore what it feels like to be in your organisation as a person with disability. These training sessions are for all types of organisations and from any industry. The more people who participate in disability awareness training, the more inclusive and accessible our workforce becomes.
Why is Immersive Disability Awareness Training important?
Gaining a better understanding of what it’s like for people with disability, who are in your workplace or use your products and/or services, is integral to building more disability awareness. An Immersive Experience allows your team to gain valuable insights into how to make your businesses more accessible and inclusive, while creating a safe space for everyone to ask questions and learn through discussion.
How does it work?
We believe that you’ve got to see things from a different perspective in order to change your perspective. And when you take part in an Immersive Disability Awareness Training session, you can’t help but to open your eyes.
Our face-to-face training days give you and your team a general overview of accessibility within your workplace. You’ll team up with our GSA Associates, who have real life disability experience, and work to identify barriers and alternative accessible options. This could include navigating the environment with mobility aids or learning about different disability types. Whatever your training session involves, you’ll be out of your comfort zone in the most productive way possible. Afterwards, you and your team will feel confident enough to make change, coming away with actionable ways to be more inclusive and accessible, all while promoting inclusion for people with disability.
