The North Yorkshire Learning Disability Partnership Board works to make services better for people with a learning disability and for people with autism. The partnership board has members from North Yorkshire County Council, health services, voluntary groups, advocacy organisations, family carers and people with a learning disability.
An important part of the governments "Valuing People Now" strategy, is to make sure information is easy to read and understand. The word-bank was developed with a group of people with a learning disability who suggested the idea for the word-bank and then worked, with support, to agree the words, pictures and their meanings.
You can download the word-bank below:
Easy read information
We have also produced a series of videos by members of the learning disability partnership board explaining why information in easy read is important.
