Intellectual disabilities across Australia have affected barriers through learning and societal adaptation. The issue particularly affects social awareness and people skills such as empathy, communication, and collaboration. The issue spreads through diverse backgrounds such as gender, race, and sexuality to understand the need for inclusion in society.
The Easy Read Toolbox strives to assist with intellectual disabilities through thoughtful layout design to create easy learning. The defined topic of inclusion ensures that intellectual disabilities understand diversity across Australia and how it is applied in the workforce, education sector and public. The topic requires emphasising different people’s profiles in Australia such as LGBTIQA+, nationality and gender to help distinguish the diverse population in the country such as skin colour and gender colour affiliation.
The topic involved a set of icons to focus on conveying a welcoming society, workplace sustainability and educational development. The context allows essential requirements which may lead to social issues such as discrimination, prejudice, poverty, unemployment, and social isolation. The topic allows teaching that Australia is a welcoming society, thus helping empathy-related social skills such as embracing backgrounds to ensure citizens, students and workers are connected. The requirement ensures mental and social benefits such as happiness, connections, friendship, and leisure.
The icon set hopes to allow intellectual disabilities to feel welcome in society and especially target the sector of various support services and systems in the country. It ensures intellectual disabilities maintain working jobs and school settings, and society in general.
