Accessibility Awareness Self-Paced Course

Overview

The Accessibility Awareness Self-Paced Course is currently in development and will soon be available through BlindSpot Solutions. This practical, story-driven program helps organisations move beyond compliance to create workplaces that are genuinely inclusive and usable for everyone.

Each module blends lived experience, relatable examples, and simple tools that make accessibility real and actionable. Learners move from personal awareness to practical change, exploring how accessibility connects to communication, culture, systems, and everyday design.

Course Modules

Module 1 – A Personal Introduction: What Accessibility Really Means

Learners connect with accessibility on a personal level, exploring real stories and everyday examples that show inclusion begins with mindset and awareness.

Module 2 – What Is Accessibility?

Module 3 – Why Accessibility Matters

Explains the human, legal, and business value of accessibility – showing how inclusive practices improve relationships, trust, and performance.

Introduces five key categories: Mobility, Vision, Hearing, Neurodivergence, and Mental Health. Learners gain practical insight into barriers, adjustments, and respectful communication.

Module 6 – The Four Pillars of Accessibility

Presents the BlindSpot framework – Physical, Digital, Procedural, and Cultural – as a simple structure for assessing and improving accessibility across the organisation.

Module 7 – Common Accessibility Barriers

Helps learners recognise that most accessibility issues are design problems, not people problems, and shows how small, thoughtful changes remove big obstacles.

Module 8 – Common Accessibility Myths

Challenges misconceptions like “accessibility is expensive” or “only for people with disabilities,” replacing them with facts, examples, and confidence to lead conversations.

Module 9 – Quick Wins for Your Workplace

Turns awareness into action through practical, low-cost improvements that can be implemented immediately across all four accessibility pillars.

Module 10 – Wrapping Things Up and Moving Forward

Brings everything together, reinforcing key lessons and helping learners plan their next steps toward lasting accessibility and inclusion.
