DSA Roadshows

About Us

What our visitors say about the Roadshows!

DSA Partners

In 2018 we realised that there was no effective hands-on training for Assessors and Centre Managers on the assistive technology provided to the DSA by software vendors.    

 

We spoke to market specialists and assessors to ask them what would help them with learning about the latest software available. The feedback was that they wanted small, informal group sessions that could provide them with the latest knowledge of what was available and how they could demonstrate it to their students.

 

 

We spoke to some DSA software vendors, put the two together and that’s how the Roadshow was born!!.

Very well organised and a friendly, helpful team. Great location, conducive for presenting information. The sessions ran on time and all the presenters were informative. There was time for questions and I would recommend attending to anyone in the field.

I liked the detailed presentations from each specialist. It was really useful to be informed of recent updates and developments with various software/hardware. Each person made the presentations interesting and relevant. It has enabled me to think again about the recommendations i would make during a DSA Assessment. J Stone.
