Amputee Coalition of America adds Easy Read Materials to Web site
With ACA's audience being one of rich diversity, the need to present educational materials in multiple formats - to reach and address the specific concerns and needs of its audience - is apparent. To do this, the ACA has created the Easy Read Materials Web page <URL Redacted>, which presents many of ACA's educational materials in two distinct formats: Easy Read and Large-Print materials.
Easy Read materials are rewrites of original ACA material, revised to 8th grade level, to ensure that all people, despite reading or comprehension levels, can read and understand the information. The new Easy Read versions are more concise, less detailed, and easier to comprehend, while maintaining the information presented in the standard versions. They are also presented in 14 point font instead of the standard 12 point font with more bulleting and white space utilized in the layout and design.
Large-Print materials are reproductions of standard fact sheets and inMotion/FirstStep articles-reproduced word for word. The only difference is that the materials are presented in a 16 point font instead of the standard 12 point font for people with vision problems.
For more information regarding these and other issues, please visit the ACA Web site at <URL Redacted> or contact an ACA information specialist for further details.
