International Disability related organizations

CHANGE

We are CHANGE, a leading international human rights organisation, campaigning for the rights of people with learning disabilities. CHANGE produces easy read books, DVDs, CD-ROMS and thousands of images around a huge number of important and hard hitting issues such as parenting, sex and relationships, cancer and employment. CHANGE's easy read books are also used successfully to support people who find reading difficult and whose first language is not English.

Why not create your own easy read documents by using CHANGE's famous Picture Bank CD-ROMS, containing thousands of clear, concise and relevant images on a huge number of subjects. Use CHANGE's CD-ROMS to make your information accessible to everyone.

All of our resources can be found on our website at www.changepeople.co.uk or email us on info@change-people.co.uk for more information.
