Accessible written information resources for adults with intellectual disability: Rapid review. Research to Action Guide

This paper provides an overview of the literature that gives guidance on how to make written information resources as accessible as possible for adults with intellectual disability (ID)so that they can exercise their right to make informed choices. It is designed to provide individuals and organisations with a better understanding of what the evidence tells us about good practice when preparing written information resources. When compiling this paper, both peer-reviewed research literature and the ‘grey’ literature were sourced by means of a systematic review. Research questions guiding the systematic review of the literature: • What needs to be considered when preparing accessible written information? • What evidence is there to support the recommendations made by the various guidelines with respect to preparing accessible written information resources? • What does the evidence say about the factors that should be considered when supporting a person using accessible written information resources?
