  Providing tailored one to one assistive technology training to students in Higher Education that have physical disabilities, emotional and learning differences such as dyslexia, dyscalculia. When new students are assigned to me I complete a leaner assessment. This is a process designed to open up communication so that I can get to know the student and tailor the training according to their individual needs. Using video communications such as Zoom I am able to train the student on the software that has been allocated to them by the Disability Students Allowance. Throughout the weekly sessions I am able to coach ,mentor and support them during their studies which helps to give them the confidence to succeed in education and in the workplace. Show less
