Training

It is important to learn how to use assistive technology. There is little point in being provided with specialist equipment or software if you are not sure how to use it.

Even if you have good computer skills you'll probably find it helps to have an experienced trainer on hand to work out how assistive technology can help achieve study or employment goals.

If you have received equipment following recommendations made by an Assessment Centre you should also have access to funding to cover training costs. You are strongly advised to avail yourself of this training. You can also seek further training later on if you have had your equipment for a while and feel you need reminding how to use it properly.

The Cambridge ACCESS Centre can provide general workshops and training for tutors, advisers or others who have an interest in the education and employment of people with disabilities and the applications of assistive technology or specialist strategies. Contact the Centre for further information on the training we can offer.
