Assistive Technology Training for Dyslexia & ADHD

Learn to use software for reading, writing, dictation, planning and taking notes. Work one-to-one on your own emails, documents and daily tasks.

Who this training is for

We train people with dyslexia or ADHD at all stages of their working lives. You or your employer can arrange training directly, or after an Access to Work or workplace needs assessment.

We help you set up the software for tasks such as reading a report or planning your week.

How sessions work

Training is one-to-one. We cover one program per session (we usually book three hours per package, with shorter sessions on request for one package).

You can start with a free phone consultation. Join online from anywhere in the UK or arrange an on-site session. Every training package includes two weeks of follow-up support.

For employers: we also deliver this as a workplace adjustment for a colleague, alongside awareness sessions for the wider team — see our page for employers.

Common questions

I've just had an Access to Work assessment — is this the training it recommended?

Workplace assessments often recommend packages such as Read&Write, Dragon, MindView, Global AutoCorrect, Caption.Ed or Genio alongside dedicated training sessions. Your assessment report may recommend software and training. Check your Access to Work decision letter, or confirm with your case manager, which costs and hours have been approved. You can ask whether AAT Solutions can provide your training, and our Access to Work guide explains the process.

Do I need a formal diagnosis to get training?

No. A diagnosis matters for some funding routes, but for the training itself what matters is the tasks you want support with. If reading, spelling, planning or getting words onto the page slows your work, sessions focus directly on those tasks.

Can my employer arrange this for me?

Yes. An employer can book training for a colleague, either through Access to Work or directly as a workplace adjustment. Our employers page explains how that works.

Which software should I choose?

It depends on the tasks you want help with — reading long documents, drafting emails, organising projects or capturing meeting notes. In a free consultation we can talk through your everyday work and discuss which tools fit your setup.

Access to Work can help pay for assistive technology training if it is recommended and your funding is approved. Find out how Access to Work funding works and ask for a quote.
