ABSTRACT
The authors present a conceptual framework which tool developers can use to chart future directions of development of tools to benefit users with cognitive disabilities. The framework includes categories of functional cognitive disabilities, principles of cognitive disability accessibility, units of Web content analysis, aspects of analysis, and realms of responsibility.

Web accessibility for individuals with cognitive deficits: A comparative study between an existing commercial Web and its cognitively accessible equivalent
Tim Berners-Lee claimed in 2001 that “the power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect”. A considerable amount of work has been done to make the web accessible to those with sensory or motor ...
Web accessibility for people with cognitive disabilities
CHI EA '05: CHI '05 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThis pilot study investigated individuals with developmental cognitive disabilities (DCD) navigating W3C accessibility-compliant Web sites and the impact of four cognitive determinants: situation awareness, spatial awareness, task-set switching, and ...
Evaluation of web accessibility tools
IHC+CLIHC '11: Proceedings of the 10th Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computing Systems and the 5th Latin American Conference on Human-Computer InteractionThere are several accessibility evaluation tools, with different features, which may help a lot when evaluating Web accessibility. However, few data exist about what evaluators think about these features and if these tools are easy or difficult to use. ...
