Making communication more accessible

At Embrace Access, we believe communication should empower, not exclude. We're a disability-led training and resource centre providing evidence-based workshops, and best-practice resources to Australian businesses committed to communication access and disability inclusion.

Easy Read translations help your organisation to be inclusive of people with communication disability and low English literacy. We proudly codesign Easy Read books with people with disability. Our team of experienced writers and designers can create Easy Read for your strategic documents, web content, social media posts, video scripts, factsheets, surveys and forms.

Social Scripts at Embrace Access

Social Scripts help organisations engage people with communication disability in programs and events. Originally developed for autistic people, Social Scripts (also known as social stories) are a widely used disability inclusion tool in Australia, helping people understand what to expect before a program, event, or new experience through clear, inclusive, and respectful language.

Using communication board AAC Choice Board

​We create communication boards for Australian organisations and individual NDIS participants. Communication boards help conversation partners and people with communication disability to communicate in everyday settings such as cafes, medical appointments, courts, shops, libraries, and community services. Our Certified Practising Speech Pathologists work directly with you to design customised AAC that supports inclusive and accessible communication.

When it comes to inclusion, removing physical access barriers is just the beginning. We give staff the tools and training to communicate in an accessible way, ensuring the 1 in 7 Australians who live with communication disability are welcome at your organisation.
