Accessibility in the workplace. Beyond onboarding.

We think we know how to live together, communicate and work with other people... until a situation appears that we have never experienced before.

On Thursday 21 May you will have the opportunity to take part in a different kind of event.
We will talk about disability, work, accessibility and living together from a much more human perspective: real doubts, everyday situations and the questions we often do not dare to ask.
Because understanding how other people work completely changes the way we collaborate and relate to one another.
I want to sign up for the event

Imagine that tomorrow a new person starts in your team.

They have experience, they fit the role and they seem to be exactly the support you needed. But you have been told that they have a disability and you are not quite sure how to treat them.

And then the questions appear.

Will they work like everyone else? Will they adapt? Do I speak to them the same way I do to the others?

These are not strange questions. They are normal, human questions. That feeling of wanting to do the right thing but not being quite sure how.

Almost nobody has taught us how to move naturally in these situations. And when we do not know, we improvise. And when we improvise with fear of getting it wrong, it almost always ends badly.

Then comes a meeting with screen sharing, an unstructured document, overlapping conversation, a person who needs a different pace, a tool that does not work the same way for everyone... and at that point good intentions are no longer enough. At that point, you need to understand how to handle it.

We assume that everyone works, listens or learns the way we do. But they do not. Not everyone works the same way or communicates in the same way.

That is also what accessibility is about: understanding these everyday situations before they become a problem.

The reality is that this is closer to us than we think. Because you do not need to work with a blind person for this to affect you.

It affects you when someone cannot follow a meeting because everyone is speaking at once, when a person needs to work in a different way and the team is not quite sure how to adapt, or when we assume that everyone understands an explanation, a tool or a way of working in the same way.

At TOTHOMweb we did this exercise with our own team.

We proposed a simple situation:

"Before you start working with this person, you have a few minutes to ask them one question. What would you ask?"

The ones we do not say out loud came up. The ones that appear when you do not want to make someone uncomfortable, but you also do not want to pretend nothing is happening, or when you are curious and not quite sure how to phrase it.

And what is interesting is that almost none of them were about the disability itself. They were about something much more everyday: how to communicate better, how to organise work, how to offer help without intruding, how to create an environment where each person can work in the best possible way...

In other words, about working together.

And that is what this event is about.

TOTHOMweb's second awareness-raising event

That is why, and to mark Global Accessibility Awareness Day, at TOTHOMweb we have prepared a free online event to talk about disability, accessibility, work and living together through real situations and everyday experiences that you have probably never stopped to think about.

This event will take place on Thursday 21 May 2026 from 17:00 onwards (GMT+2, peninsular time) and we will talk about communication, remote work, meetings, everyday barriers and small day-to-day situations that can make a big difference within a team.

It will be a conversation told from the inside, with people who experience these situations first-hand and colleagues who have also had to learn to look at things differently.

We will also share real questions raised by our own team during an internal awareness exercise.

Because very often a simple conversation can resolve more doubts than any manual.

And because working better together starts with understanding better how each person works.

Sign up for free now

Because we cannot truly work as a team if
we do not first understand how other
people work.

We want to show you how small details can completely change someone's experience within a work or digital environment.

Not from theory.

But from the people who live these situations every day.

Without a doubt, this is an event that will make you reflect and look at many everyday situations from a different point of view.

If you want to make sure you can attend as a listener, leave your email address below.

Once you have signed up, you will receive a confirmation email with the event details.

And in the next few days you will receive another email with the link to the live session.

Frequently asked questions

I am interested but I will not be able to attend. Will it be recorded?

Yes, you can still sign up and we will send you the recording link.

Is this event only for technical people or people related to accessibility?

No. This event is designed for anyone who works in a team or in digital environments.

We will not talk only about digital accessibility or technology, but also about living together, communication and real day-to-day situations.

Will I be able to ask questions during the event?

Yes. You will be able to write them in the chat during the session and we will answer them live. If you have any difficulty writing them, send us an email at [email protected] and we will find a way to resolve it.
