Disability Awareness Training & Motivational Speaking
Disability awareness and training.
We recognise that interacting with people with disabilities can be a part of life that seems sometimes shrouded in mystery. Many people feel uncomfortable about it - on the one hand, they really want to help, but on the other, they are very afraid of causing offence. Our tailor-made presentations and workshops address those challenges while helping organisations to see that increased awareness can pay dividends.
Our warm and engaging style has been enthusiastically received and our workshops are tailored around your organisation's individual needs. We work with everyone, from Primary school children to large businesses, and our friendly and practical approach aims to make people comfortable discussing the subject of disability and how it affects us all. By becomng more aware of the issues that disabled people face, children grow up with greater understanding and businesses benefit from improved customer care, greater customer loyalty and better staff recruitment and retention - all ultimately leading to financial benefit.
William J Brennan once said:
"...society's accumulated myths and fears about disability and disease are as handicapping as are the physical limitations that flow from the actual impairment"
Elephant in the Room can help dispel some of those myths and fears for you.

Elephant in the Room specialises in demystifying the subject of disability through disability awareness training. We offer presentations and workshops which are co-hosted by both an able-bodied and a disabled presenter. We are a unique partnership of a highly successful paralympian and world class coach who have extensive experience and knowledge both of working within the disability arena and of presenting to wide and varied audiences. We have first hand knowledge from across the globe, of living and working with disability, and use our experiences to offer a style of disability awareness training that you won't find anywhere else.
