Free Online Accessibility Training – Wednesday 3rd December 2025
Why I’m Offering This Session
Every year on 3rd December, people around the world mark International Day of Persons with Disabilities and it’s a day to celebrate inclusion, challenge barriers and highlight the contributions of disabled people everywhere.
For me, it’s an opportunity to remind organisations, schools and communities that accessibility is more than a tick-box exercise. It’s more than ramps and accessible toilets. And it’s everybody’s responsibility.
Ramps, lifts, toilets – of course those things are important. But real accessibility goes far beyond physical adaptions. It’s about attitudes, communication and everyday practices that help disabled people feel valued and included.
That’s why I’m offering this free one hour online training session:
Accessibility in Action: Small Changes, Big Impact
Wednesday 3rd December, 10.00-11.00am (UK Time)
Free Online via Microsoft Teams

What The Session Will Cover
During the session, I’ll share practical, low-cost ways to make environments more inclusive and accessible – whether that’s a classroom, an office or community space.
We’ll look at:
- What accessibility really means – beyond the physical environment
- How the Social Model of Disability puts the focus on removing barriers
- Everyday attitudes and communication that can either include or exclude
- Simple, positive actions anyone can take to make a real difference
This isn’t a lecture – it’s a relaxed, interactive session full of real-life examples and ideas that you can implement straight away.
Why Accessibility Matters
Over the years, I’ve worked with dozens of schools, organisations and employers. One thing I’ve learnt is that inclusion doesn’t happen by accident – it happens when people choose to think differently. And in my experience, the smallest of actions can often have the biggest impact.
- Adjusting a meeting set-up so that everyone can participate;
- Providing information in accessible formats;
- Taking time to listen and communicate directly with someone who has a speech impairment
- Checking that accessibility features actually work
These moments may feel small but they can have a big impact on whether someone feels included and that’s what accessibility really is.
