Virtus Launches Inclusive Communication Guide to Support Accessibility

Virtus has released a new Inclusive Communication Guide, providing practical tools to help organisations create more accessible and effective communication for people with intellectual disability.

The guide is designed for a wide range of users, including sporting organisations, staff, volunteers, coaches, educators, and service providers. It focuses on simple, actionable strategies such as using clear language, short sentences, and visual supports to make information easier to understand and more meaningful.

Communication barriers can significantly impact a person’s ability to access information, make decisions, and fully participate in sport and everyday life. This guide aims to address those challenges by promoting communication that is clear, respectful, and person-centred.

The release of the guide aligns with Virtus’ ongoing commitment to inclusion, equity, and respect, and forms part of its 40-year legacy of advancing opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities.

For organisations across the disability sport sector, including ASAPD members and partners, the guide provides a valuable resource to strengthen inclusive practices and support meaningful participation at all levels.
