Abstract
This paper presents a study on Easy-to-Read and its impacts on the support of people with specific learning difficulties. Research unveiled a lack of scientific research concerning Easy-to-Read but various scientific issues which interrelate with the underlying topic. Although having based on heuristic experiences the study represents a deep investigation concerning Easy-to-Read principles for print and online materials and what is more represented a signal for ongoing ambitious efforts to involve people with specific learning difficulties to all areas of life.
