Clare describes the importance of complexity:

'Simplified information hides many months of work that precede it, but would not exist without it.'

A great read for those thinking about the place for and process of creating #easyread documents

[EQUALD Study @EquALDStudy]

‼️New Blog alert!

Our @claretarling has written about the experience of creating #easyread versions of long complex documents based on her work with the EQUALD project
