Working towards self-representation of people with impairments in society

I studied linguistics and have been working for the Lebenshilfe Braunschweig for two years. I run the Centre for Easy Language, which was built with the financial support of Aktion Mensch (private German charity and lottery). Although the Lebenshilfe has been working with Easy Language for ten years and has also had a review group for the same amount of time, a specially aligned office for Easy Language was only created recently. The Centre for Easy Language creates texts for the Lebenshilfe Braunschweig and translations for external clients.
