Language Guides
The words we use shape how people are understood, included and respected. Language guides can support more confident, accurate and respectful communication about disability, access and inclusion. They can help avoid outdated terms, stereotypes and deficit-based language, while recognising that people may describe themselves in different ways.
Easy Read, plain language and symbols can also make information easier to understand and use. There is no single rule that applies to every person or community, so listening and asking respectfully is important. This page brings together guides and resources to support better communication with d/Deaf and disabled people, artists, audiences and communities.
