How to prepare training for employees with disabilities?

• Ensure that the employees with disabilities can access and use the training venues and the training materials are appropriately presented e.g. a sign language interpreter may be needed for a person with hearing impairment, or audio notes for an employee with visual impairment.
• Offer open and flexible learning as an alternative to venue-based learning.
• Be flexible in time arrangement, especially breaks.
• Provide participants with written materials prior to the training so they can familiarise themselves with the content.
• Check whether the trainers are aware of the needs of the employees with disabilities.
