Cognitive and Learning Disabilities

People with cognitive disabilities are gaining in a long struggle for recognition of their right to control their lives. In the information society, access to the Web is essential to this control. Cognitive barriers to this access are diverse, reflecting the complexity of human cognitive faculties. Advances in supporting configurable presentation and interaction methods, and in representing the meaning as well as the form of information, will yield progress. This progress is being accelerated by increasing international awareness of the importance of cognitive access.
