[NFBV-Announce] COVID-19 Materials Available in Multiple Accessible Formats

[Joe Orozco]

Forwarded Message:

 

All,

 

We wanted to let you know that 

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).

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,

American Sign Language (ASL), simplified text, and 

other alternative formats

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.
