Suggestions to support equitable access to information and materials.
- Take a multisensory approach – use real experiences, physical activities, manipulables, photos, graphics and video alongside text or spoken content.
- Present digital rather than printed text so that students can personalise it and use tools such as text-to speech.
- Support text with clear, uncluttered visuals, audio and real objects.
- Provide enlarged photocopied versions of printed materials.
- Use blogs, wikis, and online tools such as Moodle to bring together different versions of content in one place (for example, a YouTube video, a graphic, and some text).
- Use high contrast colours for whiteboard pens, text and graphics on slides. Avoid pastel colours and grey tones on printed and online materials.
