This article reports on an assistive technology specialist who has conducted academic research to develop an online training programme to help people with learning disabilities such as dyslexia. 'e-Quality Learning’ investigated various cognitive and sensory disabilities such as dyspraxia, autism and dyslexia and the impact they have on the learner. This enabled e-Quality Learning to create a specific learning model to maximise the quality and quantity of training to available people with learning disabilities. As a result, e-Quality Learning was able to create three separate areas of expertise: an online resource library for continuous learning support; a train-the-trainer school to deliver flexible, user-led training around the research findings; and an online platform for easier access to learning services. The article presents the barriers which have been broken down, and highlights the positive outcomes from the endeavour.
