~ Fun-spirited challenges, practical simulations and team-building activities in an interactive learning environment to foster co-operation and understanding while providing hands-on experiences that highlight barriers to access.

~ Team-building exercises designed to increase staff morale, respect, and loyalty, while training participants to be adaptive and accommodating.

~  Tailored to reflect workplace realities and needs specific to your organization

~ Sessions go ‘Beyond the Building Code’ to explain the rationale behind the regulation through interactive and anecdotal discussions such as; ‘Wash the Wheels’, ‘Sanitation Station’ and ‘Spin Me Round’.

~ Sessions employ experiential teaching methods, empathetic models and simulation activities to train staff in accessibility and barriers to access. Quite simply, we put people in wheelchairs (and other first-hand exercises providing “in their shoes” experiences for a better understanding of barriers facing persons with disabilities).
