Press Release Body: Two Sheffield training companies have teamed up to raise
awareness of a little known disability. Aspergers Syndrome is a disability on the
autism spectrum.

Sharp End Training have teamed up with the Asperger Training company and "Aspergers
Awareness" is an online training course featuring essential knowledge for employers
and anyone in business or business support.

The course features easy to navigate screens, user interaction and high quality
photographs & illustrations.

For a limited period, a trial of this online course is available completely free of
charge.

The trial features just a sample of the screens available in the full course. Topics
include guidance on aspergers & mental health and essential information for
employers who may employ someone with this misunderstood condition.

Asperger Training Company Director Jayne Dore said "This online training will help
people with little or no knowledge of Asperger Syndrome to better understand what it
is like to cope with having it on a daily basis. Aspergers is a misunderstood
condition and people with a diagnosis are underused in our society. The course will
redress this balance and help promote diversity and understanding"

Sharp End Training Director Jonathan Senior said "We were delighted when Jayne asked
us to work with her. She is clearly one of the leading experts on Aspergers in
Yorkshire, if not the UK. One of the aims of Sharp End Training is to push back the
boundaries of learning. By putting this material online, it is much more accessible
and hopefully, more people will benefit"

Jayne Dore added "Sharp End Training were an obvious choice. Jonathan and his team
show and uncanny knack of making complex terms easy to understand"
