The group all for people who are involved with the lives of the people who face all sorts of problems. People like parents, carers families, support, workers, social workers, professionals, etc in all levels of studying, training, trained, etc.

Please bear in mind there is a coronavirus lockdown, if anyone needs any support services etc maybe slow etc than they were before the lockdown we will do our best help. Most of of us have disabilities etc ourselves and Alistair is a paramedic and carer but we all have different skills and we can be very busy, that doesn't mean won't help when we can which is why those of you who are professionals, etc we would be grateful for you helping those who are facing disabilities, etc if they ask. However' so many people on the FB don't know one another, everyone has a choice so if you need to pm or and friend request people you don't for any reason ask their permission for first so they have a say whether they allow to or not, Do not contact them without permission unless you know them, added as a friend to them or and pming them already if they don't mind you doing so. We don't want to complain of our members having unexcepted unknown and unaware contacts off people they don't know.

whether it's socially or needing help advice etc or both off others.

If you need to contact admin, mainly if you don't one another as well please ask on the group. If there's a problem you don't need to say what it is on the group, just say I need to talk to an admin. also provide proof of the problem so we our job and if it's a person or people you may face a problem with this group if we need to block and remove anyone, we need to know we are blocking and removing those in the wrong not in the right.

At the end of the month we are closing 2 of our groups down, don't worry not this one. I will be making updates to this group month adding more on to it. One is a friendship group and another group similar to this one and some people from there may join us on here. Socializing is allowed but is mindful of who people are, people with disabilities, etc to socialize with people with disabilities. People who are professional, carers, etc are here to learn, give and even get support, etc for those they support to look after, etc, if not by us but others the same situation as them or maybe websites, information, services, etc but we are here to do our best too.

During the next few weeks, I will be writing another website link to this group, purpose, safety rules, safety tips, and advice in case there are vulnerable people who are wanting to socialize with vulnerable people. For those of who are parents carers, etc, there is a possible risk you may or may not get vulnerable people contacting you by mistake to think it may be someone they are meaning to want to make friends, etc if that happens and you wish to report it please feel free to do so, it may not be intentionally but with proof just to make sure we are doing our job right we will block the person or people for their safety as well as yours. Please do not pm or and friends request a carer, family, carers, etc, unless known them or and you have their permission to do so for whatever reason.

Just to say there may well some people you don't know guys who may not mind. this applies to whatever reason you have joined but you are best to ask permission just in case and that's whether it's an Admin or member unless you know them. added to a friend or have been pming already and you them well enough to know they won't mind. If someone contact you don't know without asking and you don't mind that's okay but if you do mind please feel free to report it to us with proof so we are blocking and removing people who are in the wrong, not those who haven't done anything wrong.

https://sararevealed.blogspot.com/2019/12/living-with-disabilities-or-and-all.htmlSafety rules.

1. Don’t add someone to the group unless you have asked them if they agree have made us aware. (Please let us know.)

2. No bullying or hate crime, if you face bullying and hate crime please feel to report it us and we will see that an Admin who know how to report the person to Facebook does that as long as you have proof and whatever happens that person will be removed and blocked from our groups.

3. No out seen or sexual post.

4. No advertising product.

5. No talk of drugs unless it’s a certain awareness of disabilities and health problems.

6. No porn.

7. No swearing

8. If by any chance you have a very strong dislike towards someone and they are bugging you that much, please leave the group in respect of the other members don't communicate with that person on the group, you don’t have to give a reason unless you want to.

9. If you face anything nasty for anyone please feel free to report it to us and we will remove and block the person and even report them to Facebook if you feel there's a need to do that.

10. If you are aware of anyone breaking these rules please let us know thank you.

11. Please do not join our groups on more than just two profile, it gets confusing for us, thank you.

12. NO GIVING PERSONAL DETAILS SUCH AS ADDRESSES, EMAIL ADDRESSES. PHONE NUMBERS ETC, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY TO SOMEONE IF YOU PM SOMEONE. DON'T WRITE TO YOURS OR THEIR PERSONAL DETAILS ON THE GROUP OR GIVE THEM TO ANOTHER PERSON WITHOUT A PERON'S PERMISSION IF THEY REPORT YOU WITH PROOF, YOU WILL BE BLOCKED AND REMOVED OFF THE GROUP, MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL DO NOT GIVE ANYONE YOUR PASSWORDS.

13, Do not judge anyone.

14. No discrimination

15. No Sigma

16. Remember this group is to support people with disabilities or and or all problems to access all topics of life so socializing is one of them so always ask who people are and why they have joined the group because this group is also for people in the lives of disabilities, or and all problems such as parents, carers, families, friends, partners, social workers, support workers, professionals, etc, if you fit into these catering always let people know so people don't think your someone your not. For eg; only people with disabilities socialize with people disabilities.

17. No blocking Admin or member.

18. No getting involved with Admins personally, if anyone is it must be off the group and team.

19, If you face problems with anyone on this group, on the group or anywhere else, please provide us proof before blocking them so we don't block and remove people who haven't done wrong.

20. Not everyone knows people on the FB so if you feel a need to pm, someone, whether it's an Admin or a member ask them first unless you know them and spoke to them before, etc or you are already added to freind to or and to them before. No friends request either without someone's permission, we don't want reports of unexcepted PMS or and friends to request but please feel free to report them if you face them and remember to provide proof so we block and remove the person in the wrong, not in the right.

21. No request to the groups on more than 1 profile, more than 1 profile is confusing for the Admins.

22. No buying and selling anything to anyone on the group but donating anything to charities etc is fine. One rule we have forgotten and I guess a lot of you wouldn't do this but it can be easily done for some people just a bit of advice.

Hi, all just to say when asking someone if you can pm them or and friend request. always wait for their reply to the group first so they have a say yes or no. This whether you are wanting to friend request a member or Admin.

No giving your personal details on the groups such as phone numbers, email addresses, home addresses, etc form Sara creatorhttps://sararevealed.blogspot.com/2020/04/disability-all-problems-mental-health.html

supporting disabilities and all problem.

Accessible information easy read.

Everyone sees accessible information in different ways when accessible is really in my view where you just do not miss what your reading and it is staring you right in the face, it is so clear. My advice is to save yourself as much hard work as possible, whether writing for people with disabilities and other problems or other people, if you know who your writing for is to ask them first. It’s not always the case but in some situations, if the information is not clear enough for people could be the answer to why there are no replies, why people may not turn up for appointments or may reasons people don’t get the response they may except depending on the situation.

With IT, the internet,  the icons on word etc, whatever the right word is to choose,  there are so many different ways you can choose how to make your information, which at one time wasn’t there other than say a paper, pen and an old fashioned typewriter, which was still just about there when I was a child, Computer wasn’t around as far as I’m aware. This is where there are different types of fonts, styles, sizes of writing etc. Such as bold, italics, underline, size 18, comic san, Ariel, or FS Mencap etc.

Most people feel as if they have been shouted at someone when people do a lot of writing in blocked capital letters when it is not people’s intentions.

Most people tend to like titles in bold and subheadings underlined, instructions, directions etc very often in bullet points, 123, ABC etc, which tends to break the information down and make it bitesize for most people.

No jargon and information are written in small print to a point words are jumping off the page, most people find that eye-straining and even blinding.

This could mean different coloured paper for example, some people purple writing on pink paper. Most people do not get on with green. Some people like codes and colours. Words in white (reversed out text) on the coloured paper background can be harder to read. Remember everyone manages with colour different ways so I would ask people you are before you go through the trouble of guessing if I were you first. Try to use your full stops at the end of every sentence, which also can help to break your information down for your reader.

Try not to use other punctuation if your reader likes it that way. Do not use abbreviations like don’t for example.

One subject on – one page, if this is not possible making you put some type of guide mark on to show your reader what is what if your reader likes it that way.

Also, use page numbers if you are doing pages of writing.

Avoid columns

It’s easy for some people to read across the page.

Make sure there’s plenty of space for people to write when creating forms.

If using and taking photographs, if the building etc you may be taking a picture of etc, if it doesn’t belong to you, do not take the picture without the owner’s permission. If the answer is no please accept that and explain to the reader why the picture isn’t answered if they have answered or while planning the information let the reader know depending what the owner says you may or may not be allowed to add the picture.

Some people may like you to write on the right – hand side of the page.

Do not float the text on top or across the page unless the reader wants it that way.

Useful tips.

Show pictures of clocks or even watches etc to show when your the appointment is with the person and a picture of where your meeting if you have your boss’s permission a picture of the building of the office you may work or somewhere outside, town, library, café etc but always check the permission of the owner in case they have policy rules etc and let the person know whether your allowed to take pictures or not. If there are certain pictures you can’t access, and this makes it’s hard for the person to access the information to make double sure that the information is in large print. If this still makes it hard for the person to follow like say they are finding it hard to get to a certain place then direct them and keep in touch on the phone, if you can’t plan transport for them etc.

This could be you are writing your information step by step, bullet points, 123, ABC, however, the person likes, so they know what to do first, second and so on. For example, turn left, turn so on.

Most people find cartoon pictures childish.

Another tip could be that some people may find PowerPoint more accessible that information on word, even word is like PowerPoint. For example, picture of a clock or watch that shows the time they need to be seeing you for slide one say, then slide where if you have the owner’s permission, and maybe letting know if you are wanting them to bring anything etc.

Some people might find a pretty power on a leaflet may be more accessible.

Some may not like shiny paper.

Some may find it hard to see words and pictures if they are not clear.

Some may find A5 notepad or book may be easier rather than carrying loads of loose sheets of paper.

Maybe for some CD or and DVD.

Make information easy for the person to find.

Maybe if needs are using a buddy system where they can go through the information and ask questions if they wish.

Some people may need plenty of notice before their appointment or meeting, therefore I understand it’s not always easy your so busy but they to set up their information at least a before their appointment so they understand what’s all going and what’s all excepted from them.

Effects of Dyslexia.

Try not to give them too much information at one time.

They may overthink or go blank so make sure you and them have a copy of whatever they are supposed to be doing or saying, for example, if they are doing any public speaking, meeting etc.

You may have to step because they may mistakenly miss information out without meaning or even, they may struggle reading certain words etc.

They do things not wrong but in the wrong order for example, if something is on the 21^st June, they may say or write the 12^th June, another example might be mixing bs and ds mistaking say dog for bog.

Dyslexia aids maybe say coloured overlays, highlight pens, forber castell grip 2011 propelling pencils.https://www.w3.org/WAI/fundamentals/accessibility-intro/
