Abstract Distance education has been referred to as ‘any time, any place, any where’ - resonant of the 1970s Martini TV advert. For the purist a martini without the olive is not the real thing as an essential ingredient is missing, and the same can be said of education which is not the real thing for a disabled person if reasonable adjustment for their disability is absent. This paper considers the issue of study impairment within the context of a specialist distance learning institution providing vocational courses, and examines the aspiration, expressed by the United Nations (2003), that ‘the equalisation of opportunities for persons with disabilities is an essential contribution in the general and worldwide effort to mobilise human resources.’
