We have published two application guides for those teaching and supporting disabled learners. Developed on our behalf by NIACE through consultation with the relevant community of practice, the application guides define the skills, knowledge and understanding required in these roles.

Disabled learners may be found in any setting and studying at any level. Their needs are often around access to learning and the adjustments that organisations, teachers, tutors, trainers, lecturers and learning support practitioners make to ensure they can engage fairly and effectively in learning.

There are two separate application guides, one for teachers, tutors and trainers and one for learning support practitioners. For more information and to download copies of the guides, follow the links below.
