1.5 million people in the UK have learning disabilities. Easy Read is a method of making written information easier to understand for this group.
Easy Read documents usually combine short sentences that are jargon-free, with simple, clear images to help explain the content.
Easy Read can also be useful for people who speak English as a second language; people who find it hard to read and write; people who have memory problems; or people who are in a hurry or are stressed. Easy Read can be beneficial for anyone with conditions affecting how they process information.
