Based on the NALS survey, it is clear that many thousands of victims, who have limited literacy skills, will have to cope with complex and hastily designed instructions on how to get aid in many forms. Would it make sense to offer our services gratis to the many helping agencies to assist them to design their emergency instructions and forms so they are more understandable? (I know that Ceci and I would be willing to give same-day e-mail turn around to any draft material that is to help with their services.) What do you think? Who should be contacted? best wishes, Len and Ceci Doak
