Easy Read Training
Everyone has the right to understand.
Clear communication is a human right — and Easy Read helps make that possible.
VALID Connect’s Easy Read training gives you the tools to create information that is accessible, inclusive, and easy to understand for people with disability. Whether you’re writing for clients, community members, or your own team — we’ll show you how to do it right.
What is Easy Read?
Easy Read is a way of writing and presenting information using:
- Simple, everyday language
- Short sentences and clear grammar
- Pictures or symbols that support the text
- Clean, uncluttered layout with lots of white space
It’s not just about being “easy” — it’s about being inclusive.
