SCHOOL WORKSHOPS
Disability and inclusion sessions for KS1 through to KS4, covering the South of England.
WHAT TEACHERS SAY ABOUT US
It was a very thought provoking morning and the children really enjoyed listening and talking to you. Talking to them after you had left made me realise that you had had a significant impact on their views and, importantly, perceptions.
Head Teacher – Somerset Primary School
The children were fascinated by Alison’s demonstration of how she was able to do the same everyday things as able-bodied people. She just does them in a different way.
Deputy Head – London Primary School
As is always the case, Alison presented her sessions with the perfect balance of professionalism, personality and humour. She never ceases to impress with her commitment to her message and faces were transfixed in the classroom as barriers came down and bonds were formed.
Deputy Head – Fareham Academy Secondary School
For many children, contact and direct communication with someone with disabilities is limited or non-existent. This opportunity is an investment in children’s (and teacher’s) capacity to challenge discrimination.
Key Stage Two Teacher
Your work is vital in helping to shape young people who will grow up with a positive attitude to difference and disability.
Head Teacher – Surrey Primary School
Amazing presentation and as a result, pupil engagement was 100%
Grange Primary School – Harrow
My children rarely talk about much when I pick them up from school but they couldn’t stop talking about their school visitor called Alison who was so fun and got them thinking about how bad bullying can feel to people with disabilities. She got them using their toes and they can’t wait to have her back in school
During anti-bullying week this week at St. John’s, I’m pleased that the school took bullying seriously and my son talked lots about Alison and how everyone should be accepted for being different even if you have a disability
Both my children talked non-stop after Accept Listen Learn visited their school yesterday. They told me how blind people could still enjoy books, how those who looked different could still do most things. They also said they understood why someone with a learning disability had difficulty doing stuff they found easy. They said how much fun Alison was and really friendly even though they were unsure when they first saw her.
WHAT PARENTS SAY ABOUT US
Staff reported that the sessions were very well presented, with great engagement from the children. The activities were lovely – fun, challenging and inspiring. The day proved that we need to more to raise awareness of disability and how we can all be more accepting of making adjustments to support people. The workshops were pitched well and put across a powerful message.
North Mundham Primary School – West Sussex
Very well delivered- Alison had a kind and approachable manner and the children warmed to her. She asked the children questions which made them feel included as key contributors to the workshop and gave them an opportunity to voice their thoughts and feelings

My daughter no longer stares at people who look different. Accept Listen Learn were brilliant at taking the fear out of disability.
