W3C Accessibility for Children Community Group

Hey hey!

 
This email is to see if we can get the W3C Accessibility for Children Community Group active again for the purposes of:

* Identifying user needs for children with disabilities, particularly needs that are not already covered by existing W3C accessibility standards. (Often these needs will also be shared by some adults, but be more apparent when considering children.)
* Literature review to see where enough research is already available to support accommodating these user needs while writing accessibility standards and recommendations.
* Identifying open research questions and advocating for further research where needed.

 
The idea of this work taking place through this Community Group to inform future accessibility standards has the support of the chairs of the following W3C Groups, so the work is not likely to go to waste:

* Silver Task Force
* Silver Community Group
* Accessibility Guidelines Working Group

 
If you are interested in participating, could you reply with:

* Your location and  time zone
* Whether you prefer meeting once a week or once every two weeks
* If there are particular times you absolutely can’t meet
* If you have any particular areas of study or interest (such as a particular disability groups, particular types of accommodations, particular types of products, or particular research topics)

 
(By way of introduction, I’m Suzanne and through my company, Things Entertainment, I work on development of accessible games/AR and provide consulting on educational publishing accessibility. We also do some types of accessibility production work, usually focused on writing.)

 
Cheers,

Suzanne
