UK Disability History Month 2023

Posted on 22 November 2023

Disability History month 2023 runs from Thursday 16 November until Saturday 16 December under the theme of ‘Disability, Childhood and Youth’.

Here at the University, there are a range of options and free tools to help make studying more accessible for everyone.

The Library and Digital Education teams have put together two fantastic guides to get you started on the free tools you can access today: 

  • From tiny tweaks you can make today to improve your documents and presentations, to customising your device’s features to better suit your needs, our Accessibility skills guide provides a fantastic overview of key resources and links to explore.
  • For a range of different apps, tools and software you can use to support your studying - from mind map software for lectures, distraction reducing software, or reading assisting technology, our Learning Technology Practical Guide is a go to resource to make your studying work better for you.

Interested to learn more? Why not come along to the next Introduction to digital accessibility tools and features session for a guided tour through the tools available to you.
