Activities of the Cognitive, Language, and Learning Discussion Group

The initial work of this group centers around the following activities:

This will include both generalized strategies, as well as specific features for individuals with specific disabilities such as autism, Alzheimer's disease, etc.
2. Creating a resource of information on this area
   • working in conjunction with the Access Features MasterList group to determine the features that are necessary to interpret and transform web content in a way that is easy to use for people with a wide range of cognitive disabilities
   • Adding annotations for each item explaining their implication and application to each different type of CLL 
   • Providing Links to documents and research on these topics
3. Providing review, advice, and ideas to research and development projects related to CLL disabilities.
4. Working with the W3C on a document that complements and goes beyond WCAG 2.0 on ways to create Web content that is more accessible to people with cognitive, language, and learning disabilities.
