Some disabilities can make it difficult for people to understand complicated content or terms. Also, by simplifying content, you make it more accessible to those who aren't native speakers of that languages.
There is something called a Flesch-Kinkaid test which can be run on text content (that specific test is aimed at the rules of the English language, but other language variants do exist) which can give you an estimated reading age of the content.
