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.
