Non-Medical Helper (NMH) Academy

Assistive Technology & Disability Awareness for people who work with disabled students
Tau XL's NMH Academy is a CPD-certified training pathway built for Study Skills tutors, Mentors, AT trainers, note-takers, and support co-ordinators in FE/HE.

Unlike most AT e-learning that teaches the student how to use a tool, Tau XL shows you how to select the right approach, scaffold good habits and embed Assistive Technology into real study sessions. 

You’ll leave with:
  • A clear framework for matching learning challenges (reading, writing, planning, memory, attention, organisation) to the right AT strategy.

  • Practical session ideas, prompts, and language you can use tomorrow.

  • Confidence to explain options, set up quick wins and sustain engagement over time.

  • Resources you can share with students and a certificate for your CPD records.

What's included?

Built for people who work with disabled students.

             The NMH Academy includes the following Tau XL courses:
