Clear communication starts with people
Easy Language is more than reducing texts. It is a matter of attitude.
In my work, the individual is at the centre – with their abilities, challenges and perspectives.
Over several years, I have gained practical experience in communicating with people with different needs, including in the areas of autism, ADHD and dyslexia. This work has had a lasting influence on how I understand and approach language.
Cognitive and communicative challenges are not merely deficits. They are often associated with particular ways of perceiving, thinking and understanding the world. My aim is to make these strengths visible and to support them through appropriate, respectful communication.
Successful communication is not the responsibility of the recipient alone; it is shaped to a large extent by the sender. Clear communication develops through listening, dialogue and genuine interest – not through assumptions about what people might need.
Speaking with people – not about them.
This is how texts are created that provide orientation, build trust and take people seriously.
Appropriate communication can strengthen self-confidence, enable participation and support development – in everyday life, in professional contexts and in personal growth.
For me, Easy Language is therefore not a technical set of rules, but a tool for respect and effectiveness.
I have completed a certified Easy Language training programme with Lebenshilfe Hamburg, based on recognised quality standards and including collaboration with review groups.
My texts are reviewed by a testing group to ensure that they meet the needs of the target audience and maintain a high quality standard.
Easy Language means taking people seriously.
Not simplifying – but making content accessible.
