Purpose of this survey

To make the next version of our research documents as useful as possible, we would like to understand how the current documents are used, and what might be missing.
We use our research documents to make Making Content Usable for People with Cognitive and Learning Disabilities, a supplemental note for WCAG, but if others are using our research as well, then we should publish updates etc.
