DISABILITY AWARENES TRAINING FOR EMPLOYERS
We recognised that employers are under obligation to make reasonable adjustments in the workplace. We also acknowledge that reasonable adjustments in the workplace should be made based on the unique needs of individual employees with disability.
We know that the concept of reasonable adjustments is broad and is therefore subject to various interpretations which can lead to concerns as to how reasonable adjustments should be made.
WE ARE HERE TO HELP
Our training sessions encourage employers to engage in healthy and challenging conversations around conceptions, preconceptions and misconceptions of disability and what makes a reasonable adjustment.
Our vibrant, interactive sessions are designed to engage employers in thinking about how impairment can impact employee performance and how reasonable adjustments can be tailored to suit their individual needs.
Training sessions are designed to engage employers in exploring ways to create an inclusive work culture that encourages equal participation and diversity.
DISABILITY AWARENESS IN SCHOOLS AND INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING
At Diversely Strategised we are passionate about discussions around disability, ability, empowerment, learning, academic achievement and attainment. We are here to listen to you and help you address the awareness needs of your educational setting. We deliver interactive and participatory sessions that inspire positive change and prompt discussions around inclusivity, attitudes towards disability and disabled students.
We take on a realistic and practical approach to suggesting and working through inclusive strategies to help raise disability awareness in areas such as:
-
Identifying barriers to learning and creating a more welcoming and inclusive space for students
-
Better understanding of how physical and hidden disabilities impact daily life and learning
-
Adapting support strategies to suit unique needs of students
-
Applying culturally sensitive person-centred approaches to support provision
-
Building confidence in supporting disabled students
-
Integrating the social and medical models of disability into support provision
INTERACTIVE WORKSHOPS FOR YOUNG CHILDREN
We also run workshops for children that address issues such as disability and bullying on the playground. We believe that the young child feeling or experiencing a phenomenon is the expert in informing support providers of their need and so we like to hear from them.
Listening to and integrating the voice of the child is at the helm of what we do in our sessions with young children. Our sessions are guided not just by what we as trainers have to deliver, but also by what the young experts tell us.
Listening to and incorporating what young children tell us about disability and their support needs enables us design empowering and appropriate training to suit their needs within their educational setting.

RESEARCH PROJECT
Can culturally sensitive life coaching interventions improve how autism is experienced in BAME families with children with autism?
The aim of the study is to explore how culturally sensitive life coaching intervention for parents of children with autism can be used to investigate and navigate ideas around tensions at home and in school resulting from cultural and western conflicting beliefs on autism. The study seeks to explore how narratives of parents from the study cohort evolve pre and post intervention and the resulting implications for professionals and relevant support services. The outcome of the study is intended to be used as a medium to improve interactions between parents, the home, school support services, the community and other external support services.
