Effective Assessment of Problems at Computer Workstations
An AbilityNet Workshop

Employers are required to have a process of workstation assessment for
all employees who use computers. When this process identifies a
problem,
or the employee reports a difficulty, the employer must further assess
the situation in order to recommend and implement any necessary
changes.
This course aims to help those involved in workstation assessments
respond effectively to reports of a problem and develop suitable
solutions.

"This course provided me with so many new ideas and also gave me more
confidence in my ability to carry out assessments." Occupational

Using ICT to support people with Dyslexia

As we become more aware of how widespread dyslexia and other reading
and
writing problems are and how limiting their effects can be, there is a
need for earlier identification and more effective remedial action.
Computers are an extremely effective tool in making this possible.
This
course will equip delegates with information on software & hardware
that
helps those who have a reading & writing difficulty. At the end of the
course, you will have a greater awareness and practical knowledge of
how
the computer can be used to help address reading and writing
difficulties, such as Dyslexia.
