Abstract
This paper discusses the results of an investigation regarding the support of people with disabilities in educational settings. The results indicated a lack of standardization in training and gaps in the knowledge and attitudes of educational professionals regarding how to appropriately support people with disabilities in higher and further education. The paper discusses a pilot project for offering workplace training on skills and techniques for a group of educational professionals, support workers of people with disabilities, through an online course in a virtual learning environment.
