Easy Read Document Conversion
At times, people with intellectual disability may find documents difficult to understand due to large pieces of text, abstract or complex language or lack of images to support understanding.
Maven consultants create simple text to suit the needs of the client in communicating with all individuals in their community. Maven partners with Blend Creative who then create the style, layout and images aligned to Easy Read principles and client branding guidelines.
Applying detailed review processes and following Easy Read principles, clients are provided with content which includes:
