Easy Read. Co-produced.

Ajini

We co-produce Easy Read documents and work with partners to produce other accessible formats.

Our Easy Read co-production service gives you the confidence that your Easy Read documents are fully accessible to people with a learning disability and autistic people. We also specialise in co-producing interactive PDFs, accessible videos and webpages.

Working with our partners, we can also provide British Sign Language videos, Braille, audio and translation services.

    Braille

    We work with The Art House in Wakefield to produce Braille copies to provide a fast, accurate and affordable transcription service converting any document into Braille.

  • Public speaking about life experience

    Shaun Webster MBE, an expert by experience, is an engaging public speaker who tells it how it is!

    His life story takes us on a journey from the not-very-enlightened 70s to the more disability-aware 2020s.

    IC Works experts by experience can check your in-house Easy Read documents and provide insights into improving your accessible information.

    Accessibility webinars led by IC Works staff and experts by experience will give your organisation the tools you need to make it more accessible and disability confident.

  • Plain English version of Light Art Space's exhibition about artificial intelliegence

    Plain English

    A similar approach to Easy Read production with easy-to-understand jargon-free text, but longer sentences, and less images than a typical Easy Read document.

  • NHS England Accessible Workbook

    Accessible E-Learning & Workbooks

    We can co-produce accessible workbooks or e-learning courses ensuring that language, images, audio and video are accessible and in harmony across the module.

  • Accessible Design

    When you need your Easy Read document to be designed (and printed) professionally we work with Lingual Design to create innovative and interactive documents that are easy to navigate.

    We bring Easy Read into the 21st century by creating designed documents resembling webpages, that are easy to navigate as well as easy to read.  

  • Support for experts by experience with a learning disability and autistic people

    Support for experts

    We can support people with a learning disability into mainstream or supported employment through our partnerships with Opening Doors and Sunderland People First.

  • Audio Easy Read

    Working with the authors of the document or voice over artists we can produce a document with a 'speak out loud' audio function.

    Audio can really bring a document to life. We created an ‘Audio Easy Read’ version of PCREF when Jacqui Dyer and three co-authors of the original document read the Easy Read doc and their voiceover was embedded into each page.

  • A women makes a sounds recording, wearing headphone and speaking into a microphone

    Spoken word audio

    Working with Royal Association for Deaf People we produce spoken word audio versions of documents.

    Audio is provided as mp3 files which can be uploaded and streamed online or as higher quality wav files which can be used to create audio CDs.

  • An electric guitar and a vintage guitar amp

    Original music to soundtrack your project

    For a truly unique approach, we can create original music for your video or accessible information project.

    The music could accompany an audio Easy Read document, the soundtrack of an accessible video or spoken word audio.
