1. Accessible Information

Websites

Think about what you want to tell people on your website. Make it easy for them to find things and understand.

There are many things you can do to make your website more accessible for people with learning disabilities. But if you follow many of the ideas we have set out in this guide, you will go a long way to making your website much easier for many people to use.

Other things which are easy and you can do are:

  • make the navigation easy and consistent
  • use colour to show different sections
  • make it easy for people to interact — make buttons, forms and instructions big
  • make it easy for people to know what a button does. Use easy words like 'send form'.

Video and audio

Many people with learning disabilities benefit from video and audio on websites. It can help to explain difficult concepts. Audio can also help people who can't read very well.

Review your website now

Start to consider people with learning disabilities now. Make plans to change what you can now with your designer or web team. And make plans for the future.

Take time to consider the usability of your website for someone with a learning disability.

Tip

If you can add pictures, make existing pictures bigger, make sure your navigation is easy to use and simplify and de-jargon the text, this will be a great start!
