Explaining your child to doctors, teachers, friends and family can be exhausting.
That's where an information graphic (infographic) comes in handy. This one-pager combines images and a little text about your child, their disability, and what they need to thrive.
Holland Bloorview has created online learning modules to show you how to create your own infographic. Here are the basic ideas:
What are the main messages you’d like to share? These will form the text. They should be short, easy-to-understand and focused on what you want the reader to do.
For example, an All About Me page for school might include a brief description of your child, their disability, their strengths, and a few tips on how they learn best.
In the workshop, you'll find a 'main messages' worksheet you can download, and links to free design programs that will help you lay out your images and words.
