Making Easy Language More Accessible! 💬

In the fourth post of our Easy Language series, we explore how Easy Language can be promoted through accessible materials, including postcards and posters.

Using clear text, images and QR codes, these materials can help make information easier to understand and more accessible to everyone.

Small changes in how we communicate can make a big difference in promoting inclusion and accessibility.

The final European level webinar of the ACTIVATE project is coming up on 10th November, and registration will open soon.

With this webinar, we aim to raise awareness among youth workers, educators, decision-makers and others who are not yet familiar with autism and related advocacy questions. We will also bring autistic young people themselves into the discussion.

The webinar will showcase ACTIVATE project outputs such as the Autistic Advocacy Academy curriculum and the research that supported its development, the MyAutismJourney campaign, the Stakeholder Workshops, and many others.
