Easy English conversion of Picture This – A report on the arts and disability in Victoria

In 2008, the Office for Disabilty – in conjunction with Arts Victoria and the Disability Services Division of the Department of Human Services – produced two reports on the arts and disabilty in Victoria.

The main question that the reports aimed to address is: "How can participation in the arts for people with a disability be increased?"

The Information Access Group recently worked with the Office for Disablity to produce one Easy English version of the executive summaries of the two reports. The Easy English document went through focus group testing with a group of people with an intellectual disability. This process was very instructive and the final document reflects the consultation that was undertaken.
