RV: [AAATE] Cognitive Impairments - Roadmap, Gap Analysis and WCAG

Hello:


I just wanted to bring to your attention - in case you are not aware of it - Spain just launched an experimental standard on easy read UNE 153101EX: Lectura Fácil<http://www.aenor.es/aenor/normas/normas/fichanorma.asp?tipo=N&codigo=N0060036&PDF=Si#.WyIc0y2RhE7>. It  has been claimed that is the first country in the world to have this.

(email forwarded upon request of a member)

The Cognitive and Learning Disabilities Accessibility Task Force has published an updated version of our roadmap and gap analysis<https://www.w3.org/TR/coga-gap-analysis/>. We would love to hear your comments.

It is a long document and we know it can be hard to find your way around it.. (We are working on this problem and hope it will be easier in the next version). In the meantime here are some sections of particular interest:

  1.  The Appendix on how to make content usable for people with learning and cognitive disabilities<https://www.w3.org/TR/coga-gap-analysis/#appendix-making-content-usable-for-people-with-cognitive-and-learning-disabilities>.. This section contains a section with practical advice and content developers may prefer to start here. We hope it will also meet the needs of web developers, content creators and policy makers.
  2.  There is also a Summary of Issue Papers<https://www.w3.org/TR/coga-gap-analysis/#summary-of-issues-and-techniques> that addresses some of the issues that people with learning and cognitive disabilities face, such as problems with logging on, safety, voice menu systems, and many other topics. This may be useful for anyone trying to gain more understanding of the topic..
  3.  There is a section with Tables of User Needs<https://www.w3.org/TR/coga-gap-analysis/#roadmap-tables-of-user-needs> that identify the different needs of the community and proposes suggestions on how standards and technologies could be developed to meet these needs. This may be useful for standards’ groups and policy makers.

We realise there is still a lot to do, but would appreciate your feedback and comments as we move forward.

Please send you comments to public-coga-comments@w3.org<mailto:public-coga-comments@w3.org> (subscribe, archives<https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-coga-comments/>).

Thank you so much
Best wishes
E.A.
