Using Plain Language

Using Plain Language
What is plain language? Plain language is a communication style that makes information easier to understand by:
Focusing on your audience.
Using shorter sentences.
Making basic word choices.
Writing like you’re speaking directly to the reader.
Using plain language is a powerful way to get ideas and concepts to your target audience. While plain language as an accommodation benefits people with disabilities, more people are using it because it offers easy and quick access to information.
On July 27th 2023., the Governor’s Committee on People with Disabilities hosted guest speakers from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and SUMM-AI to share:
An introduction to plain language and examples of how to apply it.
The growing impacts of technology on plain language development.
Join us to learn how plain language can benefit you and your organization. As part of GCPD’s Accessibility and Disability Series, the webinar is hosted on Zoom for Government.
Speakers:
Robin Berry, Publishing Coordinator for Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
Vanessa Theel, Co-Founder of tech start-up SUMM AI.
