"Thank you so much for sharing practical tips and providing valuable feedback to improve our resources. Forever grateful for this new UDL knowledge acquired, the safe and supportive space you created, and very appreciative to be part of a community to learn from others across the country."

ADCET Assist
Offers 1 to 1 and small group online sessions to assist educators and disability support staff with any and all queries relating to Digital Accessibility, Inclusive Teaching and Assistive Technology

"This session was excellent and so informative. I have learnt so much that I will incorporate into my daily practice and also into the design and delivery of curriculum. I have taken away four pages of notes from one consultation and have so many more ideas. The changes suggested are so easy to implement and will have real tangible benefits for all learners. I have taught in the higher education sector for seven years now and wish I was linked into this service earlier!"
