‘Print’ refers to written words and symbols that are seen and interpreted for
meaning. In everyday life, print appears in books, signs, online content and
in handwritten form, serving as just some of the ways we access and share
information.

Print-related challenges often develop gradually and cumulatively, sometimes
going unnoticed as learners progress in their literacy journey. Thoughtfully
adapted print material can make a tangible difference by supporting access,
engagement and skill-building for learners of all ages.

Regardless of how print is used – whether supporting the learner or the
communication partner – it creates sensorily memorable and repeatable
experiences that enhance learning and communication. Adapted print products
are designed to support a range of user-specific needs, including:

• Access to print (e.g. vision, motor/movement considerations).
• Engagement with communication partner and/or print.
• Sensory-based input (e.g. tactile, auditory).
• Alternative & Augmentative Communication (AAC), including picture or
  symbol-based input.
• Print exposure (for learners with low literacy or prior print trauma).
