Easy-read website for learning disabled created

Essex County Council has created a new website – www.essexice.com – that offers the support and knowledge so that anyone in Essex can communicate with people with learning disabilities.

Working with Easy-Read-Online Limited, Inclusive Communication Essex has created a website which is in itself accessible to people with learning disabilities. It includes resources such as photographs, templates and images; learning resources, including downloadable information about taking photos or video and over 100 video clips of people demonstrating common signs to help people with learning difficulties understand their communication; and training and events information.

The website is accessible to people who have no reading by presenting the information and help with navigation as a video as well as text.

For people interested in setting up a similar resource, contact [email protected] to arrange a free consultation meeting.
