22 Jan 2026
SEND Theatre
Skills & Careers SEND
This engaging panel discussion will explore how assistive and accessible technology (ATech) can play a vital role in supporting SEND learners as they transition from education into employment. Panellist’s, including experts from the ATech, education, and employment sectors, local authorities, and individuals with lived experience, will share insights into how technology can remove barriers, enhance skills, and open new pathways to work. The session will introduce the Supported Employment Quality Framework (SEQF), demonstrating how ATech can be embedded into supported employment programs to improve outcomes for disabled people. Attendees will also learn about the design and ambitions of a proposed pilot that integrates free ATech into Supported Employment services, aiming to foster inclusion and equal opportunities in the workplace. Participants will leave with practical knowledge of how technology can transform preparation for adulthood and strengthen employability for SEND learners.
