[jackibruce6 at gmail.com]

Hey NFB Family and Friends,

 

Thank you to Christine Grassman, from our Potomac Chapter for providing the
below information.

 

 

  <https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/easy-to-read/index.html> Easy
to Read COVID-19 Safety resources are now available on the CDC website.  

These resources are available thanks to the COVID-19 Accessible Materials
and Culturally Relevant Messages for Individuals with Disabilities Project,
led by Georgia Tech's Center for Inclusive Design and Innovation (CIDI
<https://cidi.gatech.edu/covid> ). This is a CDC Foundation-funded
communications initiative to which CDC is an advisor. The project aims to
deliver essential COVID-19 information in Braille
<https://cidi.gatech.edu/covid/braille> , American Sign Language (ASL),
simplified text, and other alternative formats
<https://cidi.gatech.edu/covid/accessible>  to people with disabilities,
their families, and caregivers.

ASL (American Sign Language) videos continue to be available on the CDC
YouTube channel and more are being produced in the coming weeks, so check
back periodically.
