For example it may be that the sports centre the individual wishes to visit does not have a hoist to assist them into the pool whilst one a little further away does.

Ensure the information is provided in ways that take communication difficulties into account. For example if the information is for an individual with learning difficulties then a picture based book can ensure the information is understandable. ©HSC DIPLOMA
