Designing for users with Cognitive Disabilities
Interface designers face a new challenge today, a challenge that when solved, will not only enable them to stretch the boundaries of the technical world but also open up the World Wide Web to cognitively disabled users. The goal of this paper is to serve as a guideline for web-designers to understand and anticipate what problems people with cognitive and language impairment face when dealing with information, and how to successfully compensate for those problems on the World Wide Web.
