University Training
Preparing Students for Truly Inclusive Practice
We work closely with university course leaders to deliver specialist workshops that strengthen students’ understanding of inclusive literacy for learners with complex needs. Our sessions are tailored for education, teaching, and speech and language therapy programmes, supporting students to critically explore how literacy, communication, and inclusion intersect in practice.
Through research-informed discussion, real-world examples, and reflective activities, we highlight the importance of ensuring pupils with complex needs are not excluded from literacy teaching or from wider inclusion frameworks. Our training supports students to move beyond good intentions, developing the knowledge and mindset needed to advocate for and deliver inclusive practice throughout their professional careers.
Alongside bespoke university-based workshops, we also offer live open sessions that students can register for individually. These sessions provide an opportunity to deepen learning, engage with inclusive literacy thinking, and connect theory to practice.
Our next live open workshop for university students is running on Wednesday 11th February 2026 at 2pm. You can sign up here:
University Training Offer
We are very pleased to offer our training presentation, ‘The Importance of Literacy For All’, to university course leaders in the fields of education and speech and language therapy. In the past we have presented in person where possible but also have a film and the option of a virtual Q&A.
We can also offer more bespoke training on a specific subject linked to our work, so please do enquire if this would be of interest to you.
Please do take the time to read through what the students, professionals and course leaders have had to say about the work we have done with them.
To understand the potential impact of our work with your students, please do read our guest blog post by Heather Green, Senior Lecturer, University of Chichester.
Learning Through Lived Experience: Inclusion in Action at the University of Chichester
Heather reflects:
“The Teach Us Too presentation challenged us, prompting a rethink of attitudes to the many labels that are used in the world of special educational needs and disability….
…As an educator, I considered the strong links between this campaign and equity-focused global commitments and frameworks such as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD), which states that ‘persons with disabilities are able to access … lifelong learning without discrimination and on an equal basis with others. ”
