Rachel works as a Project Assistant at SpeakEasy N.O.W. She finds it hard to get information if it isn't in Easy Read format. She often gives up or asks her support to read it for her. This shows why Easy Read is important.

Many people with learning disabilities need Easy Read to understand and use information on their own. Without it, they have to rely on others. Sadly, many important documents like government consultations or health letters don’t come in Easy Read first. This delays access and reduces independence and confidence. Rachel prefers reading her own letters, especially if they are from her doctor.

EasyMaker can help solve this problem. It helps create Easy Read materials quickly, so people don't have to wait. This means everyone can get the information from the start, not weeks later.

In a video this week, Rachel shares how she uses Easy Read in her job at a self-advocacy charity in Herefordshire and Worcestershire. She also talks about how others use and access information.

EasyMaker is free to try. It could help make your information more accessible. See what it can do for you and your team.
