Innovations in Easy Read

Recently we have developed new features for our Easy-Video-Websites which make it easier for people who have little or no reading to use the sites independently.

Fixed Side Bar

We have videos on every page - usually of someone with a learning difficulty reading out the text on the webpage. It's a problem if the video is stuck at the top of the page and you want to scroll down to see all the information.

Not any more!

We have developed a fixed side bar which keeps the video and all the accessibility controls on the screen when you scroll down. Have a look at The State of Care Accessible Summary Web Site introduction page.

Video Light Box

When you are looking at a web page - you often want to look at some additional material - often presented in a text box. Now, people with learning difficulties can have the same experience. You just click on the button, the main video pauses, and a light box opens with additional - maybe case study - material and a new video starts. You can close it at any time and carry on listening to the first video on the main page. Click on the Geoff Thomas - keeping safe button on the 'What we have found' Page of the State of Care Accessible Summary Web site.

our easy-video-pages are great at making websites better for people who have BSL as their first language. We have created an easy way to flick between BSL and English language versions - Click on the BSL introduction page - and look for the Easy Read Summary Button.
We've added pictures to the videos to help people with learning difficulties who want to follow the text as the video plays - the pictures co-ordinate with the Easy-Read printed summary. Click on the ' Putting People at the Centre' Page to see an example.
We've recently completed a set of Easy-Video-Pages for Turning Point which involve people with learning difficulties and carers demonstrating the services people can expect.
