Presentation Description

Plain Language Abstract 
This presentation is about communication. There are more than a million people with a communication disability in Australia. Two out of every five people have difficulties with reading and writing. 
These people can have difficulty getting and keeping jobs. 
We worked with five big employers to improve the inclusion of people with communication disabilities and low literacy. 
We worked together to understand problems. We made resources and training. 
We hope the employers will be more skillful and confident to employ and support people with communication disabilities and low literacy.
