How Writers Benefit from CID
Writing that successfully transfers information incorporates CID findings that sync that information with the brain processes.
It’s easier to learn how we process visual information than it is to become a good writer. (It takes only 4 hrs!) Although anyone can learn how to create CID documents, writers are well-positioned to take the lead in creating & overseeing the creation of cognitive-based information design [CID].
How text is created & handled is a fundamental key to creating material that engages, is accurately understood & easy to recall.

A silent PROBLEM
ADULT READING ABILITIES
The majority of US adults have been found to be below proficient in their ability to read, interpret & apply what they read accurately.
Our culture is being inundated with information yet the majority of U.S. adults may have difficulty properly interpreting or correctly understanding what they read.
This poses a pivotal challenge to professionals whose job it is to effectively convey information using text.
A simple SOLUTION
Information shown in cognitive-based formats (CID) can help people to accurately interpret visual or written information. Investing 4 hours to learn CID in a hands-on workshop is cost-effective and will improve the quality of your communications.
