Preview the guides with the thumbnail images below, or use the links beneath them to download these accessible PDFs.
Note on our Recommended Accessibility Providers list: WID does not receive compensation for promoting these providers, or from referring others to them. They are providers that we use and trust in our own work, and a good place to start your search. We encourage you to research and ensure you choose a provider that meets the needs of your company or organization!
Plain Language Guidelines
Below are some resources about the importance of plain language. Plain language is typically recommended as an accessibility measure to benefit people with cognitive disabilities.
However, it has been found that these guidelines help everyone to better understand your materials. We recommend using plain language as much as possible, regardless of your audience.
