Transport
information. Some people have no sense of direction mainly those
people with Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Epilepsy Anxiety and Depression. A map that
stands out with different colours would be rather useful for most
people whereas others it could be 123, ABC or and bullet points
for example.

Making and getting
phone calls.
Mainly when making
an important call you can always get to speak someone right away.
Nine times out of ten you get the answer and the person can talk too fast
you. Please leave a message after the tone that is all well and good but not
always when something is important, which can depend when that person can reply
to your message in the first place. It can work the same with emails and texts.
I find they talk too fast when they say press this number for that and that
number for this.
Without
discriminating not many people with disabilities and health problems can
understand foreign languages, mainly those of us who have problems with
our speech which can make it hard for us to learn foreign languages.
This can be very hard if we have made a call to a service and even harder if we
get a call that we don’t except.
Disabilities and
health problems are likely to slow down a person’s learning ability.
Memory problems.
· What
causes memory problems?
· Dyslexia
· Dyspraxia
· Dimension
· Side
effects from most medications
· Epilepsy
How can you
support memory problems?
Find out of such
refences as online and books what other disabilities and health problems can
causes people memory problems?
What disabilities
and health problems cause a person to not remember what they have read or and
what someone has said?
How can you help a
person to learn easy?
These tips are not
just there to help people with disabilities and health problems learn easy.
Some may now have little support or no support at all now due to the cuts. Many
services like the council, the benefit offices send out letters to people with disabilities
and health problems. The letter are hard to understand, the print can be very
small and a lot of jargon. These letters could be very important like the
person may have had their benefits cut or the council may have wrote to tell
them they need to start paying council taxi, this may not get found out for a
long because the person has no one to ask them to support them to read the
letter and they do, they could be owing a very big dept and their money have
been cut or stopped.
Why is it important
someone with disabilities and health problems to have clear information read
and understand?
Also understand
that some people can’t read and write either, what kind of problems is that
likely to cause and how can you support that situation.
It can work different
ways for different people because can have someone who can’t read and write but
if something is read out to them some people are likely to understand.
Accessible
information (Easy ready).
·
Broke down information meaning only so much
information at a time.
·
Subheadings on paragraphs to show the person what
each paragraph is about.
·
Instructions and directions 123, abc or bullets to
the order the person needs to follow them.

People with Dyslexia are likely to need coloured
paper and large print.
