چکیده
This booklet is designed to assist you to provide information to, and effectively communicate with, people with disabilities. It covers issues such as accessible formats for major disability groups and provides contact details for organisations with expertise in this field which can assist you with specific advice on the communication needs of particular disability groups. According to the ABS survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers undertaken in 1998, people with disabilities make up 19% of the Australian population and this number can be expected to increase with the aging of the population projected for early next century. In order to ensure that these people have the same opportunity to participate fully in community life as other Australians, we need to think about alternative ways of providing them with information and making verbal communication easier. Many people with disabilities have been disadvantaged through our traditional reliance on print media and verbal communication. This includes a number of people with a vision, hearing or intellectual impairment, acquired brain injury or a psychiatric disability. Some of these people will also come from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and may therefore have additional communications needs which should be considered.
