Assistive Technology for Secondary School Students

Access UCC’s Disability Support offers training in assistive technology for secondary school students (and their parents) who have disabilities/learning difficulties.

(We can include 5th and 6th class students, but it is essential that parents/guardians attend the training with their child).
Parents of secondary school students are encouraged to attend the training, so you know how to support students with using the technology afterwards.

Please read through the training calendar below to determine which session best meets your needs or the needs of your child.

  • All training is held online via Google Meet.
  • You will receive a link to the training the day before the training.
  • It costs €5 to book this training (if this is an issue, please email deirdre.madden@ucc.ie )
