Upcoming W3C Breakout Day 2025 Meeting on COGA related issue - Tuesday, 9AM EST

Hi all
From today's APA meeting, I wanted to let everyone know that one of the W3C
Breakout Day meetings will be focused on a COGA raised issue around
simplifying site navigation - specifically the clear presentation of
destination types.
March 26, 9 AM - 10AM EST

Description:
Website visitors often expect and seek familiar pages such as contact us,
login, or shopping cart. But navigating websites can be a challenge,
especially for users who find complex layouts and variable terminology
difficult. Building on last year’s feedback, this session from WAI-Adapt
Task Force introduces a fresh, semantic approach to navigation that
leverages HTML link relation types to define such well known destinations
on any page. We will also demo our updated browser extension which embodies
this new strategy— simplifying navigation without compromising on design.

We will also facilitate discussion on open challenges identified by the
Cognitive and Learning Disabilities Accessibility Task Force (COGA)
regarding the clear presentation of destination types. For example, a help
resource may be categorized as a “Virtual Advisor,” “Email Helpline,” or
“Call Support.” The goal is to ensure that users can simply understand the
nature of each option and set accurate expectations before engagement.

Goal(s):
Highlight the challenge; Showcase solutions; and Engage the community
