John thank you so much for that insight and yes the time is right hopefully.  Gill Witney has also just sent me an email about the Poseidon project - supporting technology inclusion for those with Down's Syndrome http://www.poseidon-project.org/?page_id=45

Hi E.A.,

I attended a presentation by Mr. Blanck, and met him, in October when I spoke at the 14th Annual Coleman Institute Conference. I am reading the eQuality book now. Its beginning describes legal cases indirectly-relevant to cognitive web accessibility. It cites my www.clearhelper.org website as one of its sources. 

All this makes me feel that cognitive web accessibility is finally becoming popular, and that I am in the thick of it. Of course, every member of our task force is as well. Congratulations go to all of us, and especially to Lisa.

John

I have just stumbled across the URL for the book "eQuality: The Struggle for Web Accessibility by Persons with Cognitive Disabilities"   by Peter Blanck - due to be published February 2015 http://www.cambridge.org/mx/academic/subjects/law/socio-legal-studies/equality-struggle-web-accessibility-persons-cognitive-disabilities 

He has written a paper as well  http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bsl.2101/pdf 

I am sure you know about it but just in case it is a reference that has been missed. 


Best wishes
