Learning for an inclusive programme

Learn at your own pace, in the way that works for you.

ALMS is the learning platform of the DBI and Sightsavers programme. Every course works with a keyboard, a screen reader or a braille display, has captions and transcripts, and never puts you on a timer.

Your programme administrator may have sent you an invitation. I have an invitation

Captions on. Transcript open. No timer.

Built to be accessible

  • Keyboard and screen reader

    Every page and every control works without a mouse and reads correctly on a screen reader or braille display.

  • Captions and transcripts

    No video is published without captions and a full transcript. Audio description is provided where it matters.

  • No time pressure

    Nothing is timed by default. Your progress is saved as you go, so you can stop and continue later on any device.

  • Your display, your way

    Choose high contrast, larger text, a dyslexia-friendly font and reduced motion. Your choices follow you.

Something not working for you? Report an accessibility problem. We fix problems quickly and never ask you to explain your disability.

Learning in the programme

  • Facilitators and participants at a tactile sign workshop.

  • Eye health screening in the community.

  • Studying with a screen reader at work.

Illustrations stand in until the programme’s own photographs, with consent and alt text, are added by an administrator; stock images are not used.

A joint programme

DBI (Deafblind International) and Sightsavers run this programme together so that people who are deafblind, blind or have low vision, and people with other disabilities, take part in deciding, planning and doing the work.
