“Beating the Virus” is a short story, mainly illustrated in pictures with some additional text. It explains the story of a woman, Kali, who has Coronavirus, what her symptoms are like and what to do to keep safe. She is lucky that she has a friend, Stefan, to come round to her house and help her out with shopping. It describes how she eventually feels better and can manage to go out for a walk. The text leads the reader to additional resources around how to find help and support if you are feeling unwell.

RC—We saw this book as we were setting up the “Keeping People Connected” phone and video link for people with learning difficulties and/or autism in Cumbria, Lancashire and across the North East. It was good to be able to send it to people with a view to help them understand what was happening. Coronavirus was proving frightening and it was difficult for people to get hold of and understand clear information. However, it is probably very important for some people that there is someone to support them going through the book. It helps that the book is available free of cost.

LT—I really did like this book. It was very informative and presented in such a way that the language was easy to understand. I found some of the pictures a bit difficult to look at. But the way it went through everything step‐by‐step was helpful.

Often, if you have leaflets, you cannot always understand them, so it is good there are other formats like websites and books. With my visual impairment, I would also like the book to be on audio.

The information is not only useful to people with learning difficulties and/or autism but I think it’s useful for everyone. Everyone in the entire world has had problems understanding some of the information about Coronavirus and COVID‐19 regardless of whether you have a disability or not.

RC—The words at the back of the book make helpful suggestions of how to use it as a resource with people. Beyond Words does recognise that some people will have difficulty with the pictures, but this a good example of addressing issues, as far as possible, about access to important information. The other books cited such as, “Am I going to Die,” are equally important. We know people with learning difficulties have been living with fear. The importance of ensuring people have information that is relevant to them cannot be overstated. Well done, “Beyond Words.”

“击败病毒”是一个简短的故事，主要在带有一些附加文字的图片中进行说明。它解释了一个患有冠状病毒的妇女卡莉的故事，她的症状如何以及如何保持安全。她很幸运，有一个朋友斯特凡（Stefan）到她家来帮忙购物。它描述了她最终感觉如何，可以设法出去散步。本书将引导读者获得更多有关如何在遇到不适时寻求帮助和支持的资源。

RC：我们在为坎布里亚郡，兰开夏郡和整个东北部有学习困难和/或自闭症的人建立“保持人们联系”的电话和视频链接时看到了这本书。能够将其发送给人们以帮助他们了解正在发生的事情是很好的。冠状病毒令人恐惧，人们很难掌握和理解清晰的信息。但是，对于某些人来说，有人支持他们阅读本书可能非常重要。这本书免费提供帮助。

LT-我真的很喜欢这本书。它提供的信息非常丰富，并且以易于理解的方式呈现。我发现有些图片很难看。但是，它逐步进行的所有操作的方式都是有帮助的。

通常，如果您有传单，就无法总是理解它们，因此，最好有其他格式，如网站和书籍。由于视觉障碍，我也希望这本书能有声读物。

这些信息不仅对有学习困难和/或自闭症的人有用，而且我认为它对每个人都有用。无论您是否患有残疾，全世界每个人都难以理解有关冠状病毒和COVID-19的某些信息。

RC：这本书后面的文字对如何将其作为与人一起使用的资源提出了有益的建议。Beyond Words确实认识到有些人会在图片上遇到困难，但这是一个很好的示例，它尽可能地解决了有关获取重要信息的问题。引用的其他书籍，例如“我要去死”也同样重要。我们知道学习有困难的人一直生活在恐惧中。确保人们拥有与他们相关的信息的重要性不可低估。做得好，“超越语言”。
