Making Documents Together - Trinity Centre for People with Intellectual Disabilities (TCPID)

Why we did our project 

• Information can be hard to read and understand.  
• If we can not read or understand we can not learn or make decisions.  
• We made a consent information guide and consent forms for people with Intellectual Disabilities.  
• We want to help people with Intellectual Disabilities understand about consent. 
• We want to make consent forms clear and easy to read. 

What we did 

• We discussed as a group about the Consent Form.  
• We went on Zoom calls over a period of 6 months. 
• We did a report on our project. 
• We did an easy-to-read consent document with pictures, so people would understand it more clearly. 
• We explained the consent forms, what was in them, and what people expect from them in the report. 
• Your photos/videos could go up on any Social Media platforms so that is why making the consent process easy is important. 

Conclusions 

• We came together as a team, and we brainstormed ideas we would like our project to represent.  
• We are working on consent to make it an easy-to-read format. 
• We have added photos into the project to guide the reader on the right path to make the right decision for them.
