DISABLED students in North Yorkshire are set to benefit from special training being given to teachers throughout the county.
The training courses, organised by North Yorkshire education service, look at ideas on how to make the school curriculum and school buildings more accessible for pupils who have mobility or sensory disabilities.
The education service organised 28 training courses at schools throughout the county in response to the Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001.
Dickinson Associates, of Morpeth, specialist consultants on accessibility, provided the training.
Coun Chris Metcalfe, executive member for education, said: "We have had a very positive response to these courses from every school that has attended."
