Disability Connect provided five training sessions over five weeks that covered neurodiversity, mental health, long term conditions and more. The sessions were very informative, with good interaction and used practical real life examples and case studies


YMCA Trinity Group

Steven delivered a session on the value of mentoring in overcoming challenges to a group of OU students, staff and employers. It was fantastic to gain insight from his own personal experience as well as guidance on what makes a strong mentoring relationship. We welcome him back to any OU events.


The Open University

Steven was an informative, compassionate, and engaging speaker. The attendee participation with the key disability facts and figures was very engaging and thought provoking. It was well structured, accessible, and easy to follow.

“A friendly presenter with a good level of detail. I learned so much and it was all so helpful. It was a great overview of accessibility features and how people can improve experiences for others”.


Sensata

The speaking sessions opened my eyes to the range of disabilities and that reasonable adjustments are not always physical, or expensive. It gave me a new perspective on disability.


Ffilm Cymru

The whole session was very well delivered, it was clear and covered so much. It had a really knowledgeable and open speaker and the stats in particular were incredibly useful and informative. It felt like a genuinely safe space to ask questions and not worry about saying the wrong thing!


Blood Cancer UK

THE SPEAKER WAS FABULOUS AND ENGAGING. THEY SPOKE ABOUT HOW TO NAVIGATE DISABILITIES IN THE WORKPLACE IN A PERSONAL WAY, AND HAD EXCELLENT SOLUTIONS ON HOW TO HAVE MEANINGFUL DISABILITY CONFIDENT CONVERSATIONS. THEY PROVIDED EYE OPENING STATISTICS ON INVISIBLE DISABILITIES


Ingredion UK Limited

Steven was an incredible speaker and very inspiring. He was informative, engaging and highly knowledgeable. I particularly enjoyed the example situations and the interactive questions on whether we thought the examples were reasonable or unreasonable workplace adjustments.


Vita Health Group

The presentation was very interactive, full of insightful and interesting information. The way the facts and statistics were presented made us stop and think and challenge our own presumptions
