In response to the COVID arts shutdown, Accessible Arts, NSW’s peak arts and disability organisation, which trains up to 1000 people every year through its disability awareness training programs – is helping arts and cultural organisations improve how they connect with and support people with disability through a new online workshop: Disability Confidence Training.
Accessible Arts Development and Training Manager Liz Martin says while there are now more online offerings which are beneficial for people with disability, there’s also an increased need for awareness in how the sector can help make online content more accessible.
