First Latin American Conference on Easy Language

First Latin American Conference on Easy Language

Down Syndrome International is excited to announce our sponsorship of a groundbreaking event: the first-ever Latin American Conference on Plain Language.

This is a historic moment for the region. The conference, happening in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, will bring together people from many countries to focus on one goal: making information easy to understand for everyone.

Why plain language matters

For people with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities, clear communication is not just helpful—it is a basic right.

This conference will look at how Plain Language can ensure people can access and understand important information in critical areas, such as:

  • Healthcare
  • Justice
  • Technology
  • Emergencies
  • Education

The event aims to strengthen the use of Easy Language throughout Latin America.
