Dear WAI Interest Group, Cognitive accessibility objectives and design patterns are now available as a set of web pages from: Cognitive Accessibility Guidance list https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG2/supplemental/#cognitiveaccessibilityguidance This multi-page format is easier for some people to use than the single-page Note (in forward below). The objectives and design patterns are "supplemental guidance" to WCAG 2. They are not required for conformance to WCAG. Learn more from: About Supplemental Guidance https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG2/supplemental/about/ This is part of W3C work on accessibility for people with cognitive and learning disabilities introduced in: Cognitive Accessibility at W3C https://www.w3.org/WAI/cognitive/ Here's a tweet you can use to share the news: https://twitter.com/w3c_wai/status/1509595499283816451 Regards, Lisa Seeman, Rain Michaels - Cognitive and Learning Disabilities Accessibility Task Force (COGA) Facilitators Brent Bakken, Sharron Rush, Kris Anne Kinney - Accessibility Education and Outreach Working Group (EOWG) Co-Chairs Shawn Lawton Henry - W3C WAI Accessibility Education and Outreach Steve Lee - W3C WAI Cognitive Accessibility Specialist -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Making Content Usable for People with Cognitive and Learning Disabilities - Note Published Dear WAI Interest Group, WAI is pleased to announce publication of the Working Group Note: Making Content Usable for People with Cognitive and Learning Disabilities https://www.w3.org/TR/coga-usable/ This document helps you make web content, including applications, more accessible to more people. It provides guidance on: * people with cognitive and learning disabilities * aims and objectives for usable content * design patterns (ways) to make content usable * including users in research, design and testing activities * personas (examples) and user needs This document is an informative Working Group Note. It provides "supplemental guidance" beyond the requirements of WCAG 2. It is not required for conformance to WCAG. WAI is currently working on integrating the Objectives and Patterns from Content Usable in a new section of the WAI website. That will be easier for some people to use. We welcome comments for the next version of this document. To comment, please open a new issue in the COGA GitHub repository: https://github.com/w3c/coga/issues/new Please create separate GitHub issues for each topic, rather than commenting on multiple topics in a single issue. If it’s not feasible for you to use GitHub, send comments in e-mail to: public-coga-comments@w3.org To learn more about W3C work on accessibility for people with cognitive and learning disabilities, see: Cognitive Accessibility at W3C https://www.w3.org/WAI/cognitive/ Regards, Shawn Henry, for: Lisa Seeman - COGA Task Force Facilitator Rachael Bradley Montgomery, Alastair Campbell, Charles Adams - AG Working Group Co-Chairs Janina Sajka and Becky Gibson - APA Working Group Co-Chairs Roy Ran, Steve Lee, Michael Cooper - W3C Staff
