Informasi tertulis
1
Rencanakan untuk membuat informasi dapat diakses sejak awal.
Akan jauh lebih cepat untuk membuat satu versi informasi yang dapat diakses sejak awal daripada mencoba 'menerjemahkan' versi yang lebih rinci atau rumit.
Membuat satu versi yang dapat diakses dari sebuah dokumen adalah praktik yang baik dan lebih inklusif.
Ingatlah bahwa kebanyakan orang lebih suka membaca dokumen yang pendek dan mudah dipahami daripada dokumen yang panjang dan rumit.
​
Banyak organisasi swa-advokasi telah menghasilkan panduan atau menawarkan pelatihan tentang cara membuat informasi tertulis yang dapat diakses, misalnya, bahasa yang sederhana atau Mudah Dibaca (Easy Read). Beberapa panduan ini ditautkan di akhir halaman ini.
2
Libatkan penyandang disabilitas intelektual di setiap tahapan.
​
Ini termasuk merencanakan informasi dan memeriksa versi final.
Beberapa organisasi advokasi mandiri menjalankan layanan untuk membuat informasi yang dapat diakses. Penyedia informasi yang mudah dibaca atau bahasa yang sederhana lainnya bekerja dengan kelompok-kelompok swa-advokat. Pastikan ketika Anda mencari penyedia layanan bahwa mereka membayar advokat mandiri untuk pekerjaan ini.
3
Rencanakan waktu yang cukup untuk membuat dokumen
​
Penting untuk menyediakan waktu yang cukup bagi penyandang disabilitas intelektual untuk ambil bagian dalam proses tersebut.
Anda mungkin perlu merencanakan 3 pertemuan atau lebih. Sebagai contoh:
Rapat 1: Membicarakan latar belakang informasi dan membicarakan formatnya
Rapat 2. Untuk merencanakan isi
Rapat 3. Untuk memeriksa informasi akhir
Hal ini terutama berlaku jika ada versi dokumen yang rumit yang perlu 'diterjemahkan'.
4
Menciptakan informasi yang dapat diakses berarti bekerja sama dengan penyandang disabilitas intelektual.
Bicaralah bersama tentang:
-
kontennya
-
mengapa Anda membuat informasi tersebut
-
apa yang benar-benar penting dan apa yang bisa ditinggalkan
-
apa saja poin-poin kuncinya
-
bagaimana memecah informasi menjadi bagian-bagian yang lebih pendek.
5
Choose a format that is accessible and right for the information you are trying to share.
​
The right format will be different for different types of information.
​
For example;
-
Plain language might be right for a blog post
-
Easy Read with images might be better for an information leaflet
-
Video might be better to report on a project.
You should choose the format for information that people with intellectual disabilities in the country you are working in are familiar with.
​
For example;
-
in the UK many groups use Easy Read with Photosymbols.
-
Some other countries use plain language without pictures.
6
Check the language is accessible. Use clear, everyday language in short sentences.
Avoid jargon, long words or acronyms.
​
Use examples or stories to help explain information.
7
Including images, pictures or symbols can make the information easier to understand.
​
But the image must make sense and relate to the information.
​
Images of people (either illustrations or photos) are easier to understand than symbols.
​
Illustrations can often be more specific than photos.
​
Images should represent your audience. For example if you are making a document that will be read by people in India using images of people in Germany not useful because the items they are using will look different.
​
Do not use cartoons or childish illustrations like ClipArt.
​
The best way to choose the right images for a document is to ask people with an intellectual disability.
8
Think about the layout for written information.
Fonts should be large and easy to read. For example; Arial size 16.
​
There should be plenty of white space around the written information. For example double spacing.
The information should look friendly but not childish.
​
Use headings and bullet points to break the information into smaller sections.
9
Check translated information is still accessible.
​
Make sure the translators understand about keeping language short and clear.
​
Ask people with intellectual disabilities who speak the language to check the translated information.
10
Think about other ways to support the written information.
​
For example including videos or an audio clip of a person reading the information can be helpful.
11
Plan how to share the information. It should be shared in places that people with intellectual disabilities can find.
If you are only using email, websites and social media, many people with intellectual disabilities will never find the information.
​
Ask people with intellectual disabilities for more ideas about how to share information.
​
Think about organisations you work with who can help you to reach more people with intellectual disabilities. Their meetings may be good ways to share the information.
​
If your information is very important, plan your own accessible meeting where you can share the information.
12
Make sure finding the information later is easy.
For example, make it clear on your website where your reports are stored. Avoid making people click through lots of pages and menus to find it.
​
Check that your information is easy to find through search engines like Google.
13
People may need support to read your document.
Even if you have followed all the guidelines and worked with self-advocates to create your document, many people with intellectual disabilities will need time to read through it with a support person.
For example, a support person can give background information to the document that relates to the person's life or work to help them to understand it.
​
There is no format that is completely accessible for everyone.
14
Provide a way to ask questions and give feedback in your written information.
​
Include information about who to talk to if there are questions about the information.
Ask for feedback. For example, by including a link to an easy feedback form or through an email address.
