Accessiblity Training

Eight people sit at three different tables in a classroom, looking at pieces of paper on the tables.

Writing accessibility goals into a plan is one thing, but implementing them is another. Staff may lack the experience or context needed to get those accessibility goals off the ground. 


LTRT can help. With our range of training options, we can help your staff build the accessibility and disability knowledge they need to help you meet your goals.  


Our trainings help bridge the gap between your organization's current accessibility and the level of accessibility it has committed to. Moreover, all our trainings can:


  • be offered in English and/or French.
  • be off-the-shelf or customized to your organization's learning needs to address current accessibility pain points.
  • cover a range of time participants spend learning.
  • begin with a preview of the materials a week before to prepare staff for learning. 
  • include worksheets and takeaways to support ongoing uptake and internal change management.


Ready to get started? Here are 3 simple steps to get the training your team needs:

Step 1: Pick Your Training Topic

...or reach out to us about creating a training based on a new topic. We create our trainings based on your needs, so we can build a bespoke training on a topic unique to your organization, or you can choose from our existing trainings we have available: 

People are often hesitant to talk about disability because they are scared of using the wrong words, plus they don’t know what they don’t know. This training will address that discomfort directly by empowering staff with the language and knowledge to talk about disability sensitively and confidently. It includes exploring terminology used to talk about disability, the different ways that people experience disability, and barriers that people might encounter. 


Communications staff may know they need to make materials accessible, but don’t always understand why or how. This training demonstrates how people with disabilities interact with websites, emails, social media, and reports. It covers common barriers to communicating well with people who are deaf, blind, have cognitive and/or learning disabilities, and people who are neurodivergent. Staff appreciate learning concrete tools they can use to ensure all communication methods can be accessed by people with a variety of disabilities.


If you have customer-facing staff, they need to know how to interact with customers with disabilities. This training helps teams grow their disability awareness, learn guidelines for approaching a customer with a disability, and understand how to interact with people who communicate differently. Teams leave this training with more confidence so they can serve customers with disabilities well, and ensure they’re meeting organizational standards for quality customer service. 


Good writing is accessible writing. If you want your message to have an impact, it needs to be clear. But many organizations struggle to shift from a formal, corporate voice to one that really speaks to everyday people. How do you embrace plain language while still signaling professionalism? This training covers how your staff can make the switch to plain language writing and appeal to all levels of readers. By embracing a straightforward style of writing, you’re signaling that inclusivity really matters.


Most web developers understand the need to ensure your website and digital assets meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. But few have delved into the experiences of users with disabilities enough to really understand what a difference accessible websites make. This highly customized training dives into digital asset accessibility, with focus on websites. Staff will explore barriers to accessibility and learn different tools for testing and fixing those barriers. Communications and digital teams come away with a greater appreciation for the often simple fixes they can make to ensure digital assets are as inclusive as possible.   


More and more Canadians are being diagnosed with ADHD, autism spectrum disorders and other neurodevelopmental disorders. What does this mean for the workplace? This training increases teams’ disability awareness and sensitivity about the employment of people who are neurodivergent. Learners explore how neurodiversity and disability interact with the modern workplace and the duty to accommodate those workers. Staff and managers learn how to start conversations around disability and neurodiversity that helps improve inclusion in the workplace. 


Human resource professionals understand organizations’ legal requirements when it comes to employment. But they often have not had specific training on best practices in accessible employment. This supportive session helps HR teams and people managers increase their confidence when it comes to hiring, onboarding, training and retaining people with disabilities. Topics include accessible hiring and recruitment, interview procedures, accommodations, employee mobility and performance management. Learners come away fully understanding what accessibility and accommodations in the workplace really mean. 


Adaptive technology refers to the wide range of tools that people with a variety of disabilities can use to assist them in their everyday lives. This introductory session provides teams with an overview of some of the adaptive/assistive technologies that may be most relevant to them, their customers and stakeholders. Teams come to understand digital tools such as screen readers, speech-to-text software, keyboard only access, and physical tools like switch controls. We cover how those tools are used by people with disabilities, and how they enable access to organizations’ IT and communications platforms. By learning more about these technologies, staff better understand how to create communications that are responsive to these technologies. 


Procurement is an often-overlooked area for accessibility but can have a major impact on a company’s employees, as well as their customers and stakeholders. This short, simple training aimed at procurement officers will help them analyze current practices and establish touchpoints where simple accessibility analyses can be inserted into existing processes. 


Step 2: Pick Your Training Format

In person

Live virtual training

Live virtual training

Nothing beats an in-person training for offering your staff maximum understanding. Staff respond best to in-person sessions, especially when facilitators are as engaging as ours.


  • Facilitated by two presenters (if more than 60 minutes).
  • Training time ranges from one hour to full-day options.
  • LTRT trainers are available in the Greater Toronto Area, Ottawa, Montreal, Winnipeg, and the BC Lower Mainland. Contact us for a quote for other Canadian regions.

Live virtual trainings are a cost-effective alternative to in-person, and a great way to support your team’s learning needs. Because this format offers your team the chance to raise questions and do live training exercises, we limit the number of attendees to 20 people per session, with no limit on the number of sessions.


  • Delivered by Microsoft Teams or Zoom
  • Recording included to use for onboarding new recruits or as a refresher for current staff.
  • 60- , 90- and 120-minute options available.

While live virtual trainings  can always be recorded, a training video on a specific topic offers a different kind of learning experience. LTRT’s training videos are short, digestible recordings created to be watched either individually or in a team. Videos offer learners opportunities for reflection, and are especially well-suited for new employee onboarding. 


  • Videos can range from a single 10-minute video to a 3-hour video training series.
  • Can be created on any accessibility or disability topic.
  • Available to unlimited learners.

E-learning

LTRT can create e-learnings that can be delivered to your staff via your LMS (Learning Management System). E-learnings often combine a variety of teaching tools, and can be very interactive.


  • Self-paced, with knowledge checks. 
  • Certificates of completion available.
  • Ideal for new employee training and as a refresher for current employees.
  • Customized (off-the-shelf e-learnings not currently available).
  • Formatted to fit a range of LMSs, including SCORM files.

Step 3: Pick your level of customization

If you're looking for something beyond an off-the-shelf training, we can customize our modules to your needs. When we tailor a training for your team, you can expect we will: 


  1. Meet with you to discuss what your staff needs are and how we can best respond to them.  
  2. Send you a training outline that validates our discussion and reflects your desired outcomes. 
  3. Tailor our training materials specifically for your organization, based on your guidance and feedback. 
  4. Give you a chance to review our slide decks, handouts and resources. 
  5. Deliver a stand-out training that helps your staff fulfill their learning goals.

LTRT's training approach is flexible, responsive, and driven by a desire to genuinely see more and more Canadians who understand both accessibility and the lived realities of people with disabilities.  That's why:


  • Our curriculum is developed and delivered by people with disabilities. 
  • Our facilitators teach the best practices that are in line with the preferences of the broader disability community. 
  • We offer four different options for training delivery.
  • Modules can be delivered in French, English or a blend of the two. 
  • We can accommodate a range of participant numbers. We've trained a room of two people and up to several hundred at a time!
  • We can customize our trainings based on your sector, organization and specific staff needs. We’ll pull examples and “teachable moments” from your website, accommodation policies, and other relevant areas. 
  • We support different types of learners by incorporating universal design for learning principles into our training. 

We're ready to train. Are you ready to learn?
