A big thank you to the Community Capacity Initiatives Fund of the Calgary Region Community Board (PDD) for giving me the opportunity to write this handbook.
A big thank you also to the Southern Alberta Individualized Planning Association (SAIPA), South Region Self-Advocacy Network and to Trail Blazers’ Plain Language Service. Their commitment to plain language is always refreshing and inspiring. They have ensured the printing and distribution of this handbook.
Thank you to the Vocational and Rehabilitation Research Institute for starting me along this path to plain language and for supporting an earlier manual.
Thanks to Joe Wilderson for editing, research, page design for the Web edition, and to Keystone Graphics Ltd. for adapting the design to a smaller format for the print edition.
And most of all, thank you to all the plain language translators (too many to name individually), in Calgary, Lethbridge and around Alberta. You have taught me so much.
