Easy Read UK

Hi Lisa and All,

Easy Read Online (ERO) is the UK organization I had referenced during one of our teleconferences. Its website says it creates easy-to-read documents for people with learning disabilities (intellectual disabilities).

See http://www.easy-read-online.co.uk/

I could not immediately find any references to information that the techniques ERO employs are evidence-based or empirically-tested.

While looking for ERO, I stumbled upon "EasyRead", by Oxford Learning Solutions, another UK organization. Its product is designed for people with learning disabilities (Dyslexia, etc.). Its home page references:

*     a "... research-based approach ...";

*     empirical testing with "... thousands of children ..."; and

*     a link to results from "Randomized Control Trials"
