Disability Inclusion Training explores the pathway to a more inclusive and accessible organisation.

Our lived-experience facilitators share practical tools to improve accessibility and create lasting cultural change.

Is your organisation ready to elevate its commitment to disability inclusion through specialised training?

JFA Purple Orange’s Disability Inclusion Training is delivered in a safe and judgement-free learning environment. Attendees increase their knowledge and confidence to incorporate inclusive practices in both their personal and professional lives.

Each 3-hour session is co-facilitated by 2 experienced facilitators, all of whom live with diverse disability. Our engaging facilitators bring a wealth of personal experience that makes the training content relatable and relevant.
