Everything you need to create Easy Read.
Language
Learn to use accessible language for your Easy Read audience. Our certified practising speech pathologists are specialists in literacy disabilities, and language development. By attending our training, you'll learn about common literacy difficulties for adults, and how to choose the right words to reach more readers.
Images
Get confident selecting accessible and inclusive images for your Easy Read audience. Research shows more people will understand and remember your message when images are incorporated. This interactive part of our training gives you the skills to choose accessible images for people with low literacy and disability.
Design
Discover how accessible and inclusive design can support your audience to better engage with your written communications. Our experienced trainers demonstrate how to develop an accessible layout in line with the Easy Read style. We also explore a number of helpful online tools for designing Easy Read documents.
Production & distribution
Learn to create Easy Read in-house. When your Easy Read information is complete, it's important to publish your document in accessible places to ensure it reaches your intended audience with low English literacy. Our trainers will highlight a number of ways to successfully share your Easy Read with your target audience.
Flexible delivery

"After the training I feel confident to create these documents using knowledge I learnt.
The most practical and helpful external training I have been to in this industry. Ruby was a great presenter and was able to command a room of 70+ people while explaining practical and necessary information. I was and am very impressed by her work."

"I thoroughly enjoyed this session.
In particular I enjoyed. The engagement and involvement in the audience which made the session captivating and engaging. The practical examples of how to integrate this into day-to-day work (for example, simplifying emails and not "writing about writing" and the examples of creating bespoke resources for individuals)."
