Fundación Visibilia

Qui sommes-nous

Fundación Visibilia is a non-profit non-governmental organization created in 2014. We work to make culture and written information accessible to people with intellectual disabilities and people with reading difficulties. We work for the inclusion of people with disabilities
Fundación Visibilia works to reduce inequalities by shortening the cognitive gap that impacts society.
What we do
Therefore we adapt and create texts and communication materials using the “Easy-to-Read” method (E2R) and plain language, but also trains companies and institutions.
Plain language is a RIGHT recognized by the International Convention on Persons with Disabilities (In Argentina, Law 26.378, with constitutional rank).
We contribute to the education and culture of people with reading difficulties who can only access to knowledge through materials adapted into plain language.

Visibilia is part of several networks in Argentina and worldwide. We have been acknowledged as cognitive accessibility and inclusion experts.
