About this section.
Information is power.
More and more people with learning disabilities are asking for information in ways they find easier to understand.
Making information easier for people with learning disabilities to understand can also make it better for everyone else too, and for other people who have difficulty reading complicated things, like people whose first language is not English, and other people who find reading difficult.
People understand information in different ways, so there is no one such things 'accessible information'.
The important thing is to work with the people your information is for so that they can help you make it right.
We are now offering a printing service which all the money goes to help and employ people with learning disabilities. Please check it out and contact us with any enquires.
