Disability Awareness & Sensitization is an ongoing programme to ensure the successful integration of persons with disabilities into society and the workplace. The aim of the programme is to equip employers and employees the skills and knowledge required to interact with persons with disabilities with confidence. This half-day training workshop will enable employers and employees have a better understanding of the variety of disabilities they may encounter and how to deal with this in a sensitive and practical manner; it will help them to overcome the natural fear we may have when we interact with a disabled person and give tips on awareness and etiquette in these situations. The training defines and describes disability, unpacks many of the myths which are associated with disabilities, provides a list of some do’s and don’ts and touches on the language of disability.

QASA offers tailor-made sensitization training to suit the needs of the company or organization.
