Recent recording of webinars and podcasts that Jeremy Opperman has been involved in include.
Webinar I | The Travel Chain for Visually-Impaired Persons
In this webinar, Jeremy discusses an example of the travel chain for a person with a visual impairment. Using his guide dog, and following the route from his home to the local railway station, Jeremy covers in detail the various obstacles and good access features of the journey. Using his considerable technical knowledge of access issues and blind mobility, Jeremy succeeds in highlighting the importance of recognising the significance of NMT (non-motorised transport).
Webinar 2 | Employment for Visually-Impaired People
Jeremy deviates here from his normal pan-disability approach and takes us through the employment cycle specifically from a visual impairment point of view. Jeremy’s own blindness, and his more than 20-year career in supporting disabled employment, provides rich anecdotal content for employers and prospective employees alike.
Webinar 3 | Considering the trajectory of vision loss in the workplace
In this webinar, Jeremy dialogues with long-time friend and colleague, Dr Michelle Botha, about the complexities of incremental vision loss while being employed. Since both Jeremy and Michelle have significant visual-impairment, they dialogue in an entertaining and anecdotal style, providing insight into challenges and opportunities for both the employee and the employer, and highlight many hidden aspects of this mostly overlooked area of Disability management.
Podcast | A Different Way of Seeing
In this podcast Lois Strachan interviews Jeremy Opperman about travelling as a blind person. They discuss prevailing attitudes and various ways of accommodating blind people in tourism.
Podcast | I am a Rotarian
In this podcast, Gwen Jones interviews Jeremy Opperman about his role on the Rotary International Diversity Equity and Inclusion taskforce. Long time diversity practitioner and proud Rotarian, Jeremy discusses the opportunities and challenges of the need to engage more with people with Disabilities with a view to joining Rotary as equals rather than being seen only as beneficiaries of charity.
Podcast | Disability Disclosure
Long time friend and colleague, Lucille Greef of Aephoria partners, chats to Jeremy about disclosure of one’s disability in the workplace.
