Workplace Assistive Technology Training
Practical online training to help employees use assistive technology with confidence at work.
Assistive technology can transform how someone works, but only when it fits their role, their access needs and the systems they use every day.
Calling All Minds provides workplace Assistive Technology Training for disabled and neurodivergent employees, including people with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, mental health conditions, sensory needs, mobility differences, long-term health conditions and cognitive processing differences.
Training can support employees using tools recommended through Access to Work, workplace assessments or internal reasonable adjustment processes. Sessions are practical, role-specific and focused on helping people use assistive technology in real work tasks.
Turning tools into workplace confidence
Many employees are given software or equipment but never receive enough support to make it part of everyday work.
They may know they have a tool, but not know when to use it. They may have had a short demonstration, but still struggle to apply it to meetings, emails, reports, task management, calls, deadlines or documentation.
Our training closes that gap.
We help employees understand the tools available to them, build confidence and create practical workflows that support productivity, communication, focus and independence at work.
What training can support
Sessions focus on the real tasks employees need to complete at work.

Support with speech-to-text, proofreading tools, email writing, report drafting, grammar support and clear communication.

Support with tools and strategies that reduce distraction, manage attention and make work feel less overwhelming.

Who this training is for
Workplace Assistive Technology Training can support employees, managers and teams who need assistive technology to work in real situations.
Employees receiving assistive technology through Access to Work
Employees with reasonable adjustments or workplace support plans
Neurodivergent employees who need practical digital strategies
Disabled employees who need support using workplace tools
Employees returning to work after illness, injury or absence

Organisations that want assistive technology to be used effectively
Access to Work and reasonable adjustments
Many employees access assistive technology through Access to Work, the UK Government scheme that can help people get or stay in work if they have a physical or mental health condition or disability. Access to Work support can include grants for practical support, including specialist equipment or support workers, depending on assessed need.
Assistive technology training may also form part of an employer’s wider reasonable adjustment process.
Calling All Minds can support employees, managers and HR teams by helping turn approved tools or recommended adjustments into practical workplace routines.

How we work with employers
We support employees, managers, HR and inclusion teams with practical implementation.
For employees
We provide patient, practical, one-to-one training that helps employees use assistive technology in ways that fit their actual job.
For managers
We help managers understand how assistive technology supports reasonable adjustments, productivity and clearer working practices.
For HR and inclusion teams
We support consistent implementation, helping organisations move from “we bought the tool” to “the employee can use it effectively”.
A neurodiversity-informed approach
Assistive technology training should not feel like a technical manual.
Our trainers understand that people process information, learn systems and manage tasks in different ways. Sessions are adapted to the person’s pace, confidence, attention, sensory needs and working context.
This matters for neurodivergent employees, disabled employees and anyone who has received technology but still needs support turning it into a useful working habit.
Why it matters
Assistive technology is not just software. It can be the difference between struggling silently and working with dignity, clarity and confidence.
When training is practical and human, it helps employees use the tools they have been given, reduces avoidable barriers and gives organisations a clearer route to meaningful workplace inclusion.
Connected workplace support
Assistive Technology Training often works best when it connects with wider workplace inclusion.
