Hi All,

A report was just released that should be of interest to us. See:

Leveling the Playing Field: Improving Technology Access and Design for People with Intellectual Disabilities (PDF)<http://www.acl.gov/programs/aidd/Programs/PCPID/docs/PCPID-2015-Report-to-President.pdf>, Administration for Community Living, Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, President’s Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities, United States, October 2015.

I added it to our Intellectual Disabilities Research Sources<https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/cognitive-a11y-tf/wiki/Research_sources#Intellectual_Disabilities>.
