We strive to make all our information clear to read and easy to understand.
All of our publications use accessible design. This means we use a clear typeface in a minimum 12 point size. We use good contrast, and leave space around pictures and text.
Audio
If you need information in audio, please contact feedback@stroke.org.uk . Please include the name of the publication and whether you would prefer an MP3 file via email or a CD to your postal address.
You can also use the screenreader option on the Accessibility widget on our website, which appears in the bottom left corner of your screen. This will read any page aloud.
Braille
We can produce braille copies of our publications on request. Just search for the publication you need, and email feedback@stroke.org.uk
If you use a screen reader or text-to-speech, we can send you an electronic version of the text.
Large print
You can download all of our publications in a large print Microsoft Word document.
Find the publication you need and click 'Accessible formats' for the download link.
Communication problems
If you have trouble understanding speech, it can also be hard to read.
You can also read more about aphasia and communication.
