Creating Accessible Spaces
Creating Accessibility-Centered Workplaces
What does inclusion look like in practice, not just on paper?
Drawing from the lived experiences and practices of Equal Dreams’ own cross-disability team, this session explores how to build truly accessible workplaces. Learn how each of us plays a role in fostering cultures of care, respect and inclusion.
Centering Disability Series
The Centering Disability series is targeted for general audiences, including professionals, allies and more. We provide an introduction to disability from a justice-oriented perspective, highlighting the diversity within each disability community.
Centering Disability: Neurodiversity Perspectives
This programme invites participants into a deep and practical engagement with the Neurodiversity Paradigm: a framework that affirms neurological differences as natural and valuable forms of human diversity, rather than pathologies to be corrected.
While much public discourse still treats neurodivergence through the lens of disorder, this programme challenges participants to critically examine how that view has shaped our systems, language, and relationships — and to explore how things could look different if we centre neurodivergent expertise, autonomy, and lived experience instead.
Centering Disability:
Deaf & Hard of Hearing Perspectives
Explore the diverse experiences within the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community, and learn directly about the community from Deaf trainers. Learn about the Deaf community as a linguistic and cultural minority, communication preferences, common access barriers, and widespread misconceptions.
Centering Disability:
Blind & Low Vision Perspectives
Gain an introduction to the diversity within the blind and low vision community. Learn about cultural norms, common assistive technologies, and key principles of information accessibility. Hear directly from trainers who are blind, sharing lived experiences and practical insights.
Towards Disability Confidence for Educational Institutes
The Towards Disability Confidence series is designed for educational institutions, targeting both faculty and non-teaching staff. It focuses on understanding the access needs of different disability communities within higher education. Through interactive sessions, participants are encouraged to reflect on what it means to create truly inclusive classrooms and learning environments for disabled students.
Currently, we only hold the Towards Disability Confidence series in-house within training or educational institutes. Head to the individual pages below to find out more, or email us at training@equaldreams.sg to start a conversation.
Towards Disability Confidence: Deaf & Hard of Hearing Community
Learn what it means to develop more inclusive and informed practices in engaging with Deaf and Hard of Hearing students. Explore common misconceptions, key accessibility services, and the cultural and linguistic identity of the Deaf community. Learn about the cultural model of disability, how systemic barriers impact Deaf individuals in learning environments, and how educators can effectively collaborate with their Deaf students and accessibility providers to make learning spaces more accessible.
Towards Disability Confidence: Blind & Low Vision Community
Ideal for educators and staff looking to build inclusive practices that support blind and low vision students effectively. Get introduced to the diversity within the blind and low vision community, including types of vision loss and respectful language and terminology. Learn about the community’s experiences in education, the role of accessibility services and assistive technology, and practical strategies for creating accessible learning content and materials.
Towards Disability Confidence: Neurodiversity
Designed for educators and non-teaching staff in higher education, this session introduces the neurodiversity paradigm and its shift away from deficit-based models. Participants will explore key definitions, historical context, and learn to reframe how behaviour is understood through a neuro-affirming lens. Learn practical strategies for creating supportive, neuro-affirming environments in higher learning.
