The hidden disabilities toolkit is a learning resource for employers and employees which serves to increase understanding of the diversity of disabilities and how best to accommodate individuals in the workplace.
Employees and employers have a duty to recognise and understand the differences between people and focus on the talents that they possess.
An ideal resource for line managers and employees wanting more information on disability, the hidden disabilities toolkit contains a wealth of information about auditory and visual difficulties, coordination & motor difficulties, differences in cognitive style, concentration difficulties, communication & social skill difficulties, memory difficulties, organisation & time management difficulties, reading, writing and number difficulties, issues of self-esteem and stress.
The hidden disabilities toolkit also includes checklists for use prior to formal screening or assessment for dyslexia, dyspraxia, attention differences, and Asperger’s syndrome. It is not a formal diagnostic assessment tool.
The toolkit also comes complete with a staff awareness training PowerPoint document and accompanying printed presentation slides.
The hidden disabilities toolkit is packaged in the form of an off the shelf binder which you can add information to.
An electronic version is also included in the kit which can be used individually or installed as an intranet resource.
