Why do we trust it?

Because it was made to help, not for profit.

Learn more about why we trust it and how to check other information.

Reasonable adjustments are changes that you can make that help people with intellectual disability get the health care they need.

Different people need different changes. 

For example, some people need a quiet place to wait for their health appointment. Other people might need to get health information in a way that they can understand, like Easy Read.

These checklists have ideas about changes that health professionals and administration staff can offer before, during and after a health appointment.

The changes can help make health services more fair. 

You can get both checklists in one document using the download above. Below, you can get each checklist in a separate document.
