TechAbility Conference 2026: Save the date
Hot off the press, we can confirm that TechAbility conference is planned for the 19th of November 2026. It’s not too soon to start thinking about what you could bring to the conference, or what subjects you’d like covered or guest speakers you would like to attend.
Evidence Review: Disabled people’s experience of UK education
The Disabled people’s lived experience of education in the UK review brings together disabled people’s lived experiences across primary and secondary education, further and vocational education, higher education and lifelong learning.
The review highlights the importance of accessible digital learning materials, the option to complete assessments on computers rather than handwriting and the role of online learning in giving disabled learners greater control, flexibility and independence. It also finds that feedback is most effective when provided in formats compatible with assistive technology (ATech), such as editable text rather than scanned documents.
Champions: LinkedIn Recognition
For those of you who are or have a TechAbility Champion you can now have this added to your LinkedIn profile to recognise the commitment, work and development involved in the role.
Just email neil.harrodbeck@natspec.org.uk with your LinkedIn profile link (or name) and we’ll do the rest!
In future we may open this to conference contributions so let us know if this would be of interest too.
National AI Awareness day: 4th June 2026
AI awareness day is a new national campaign aimed at exploring, debating and build skills around AI through engaging activities, creative challenges and important discussions about the individual and societal implications of using AI.
Although the campaign is aimed at schools, the resources are universally adaptable, and the subject matter is increasingly important.
