Hi Steve, 

Thanks for the suggestion – I’ve put them on Slideshare -- http://www.slideshare.net/dadahl/web-accessibility-for-people-with-cognitive-disabilities.

Best,

Deborah, could you put the slides up somewhere public? I'd love to share them.

The accessibility hackathon (evoHaX) where I spoke a few days ago went very well. There were five teams from local universities participating and you can read the report on what they came up with at

Also, here’s my presentation, if you’re interested. It’s a pretty generic, awareness-raising presentation, aimed at a general technical audience. Thanks to John Rochford for the pointer to ClearHelper. The picture on slide 7 is what is in my opinion a really terrible website from the point of view of cognitive accessibility, with popups, a lot of extremely distracting advertising, and a tiny font for the very small amount of actual content.

Feel free to reuse any of the slides for your own talks if you think they would be useful -- let me know if you’d like the PowerPoint version.
