Accessibility and Older Users

Hi All,

WAI CC meeting [1] prompted me to raise awareness of the following WAI resources:

* Older Users and Web Accessibility: Meeting the Needs of Ageing Web Users
 https://www.w3.org/WAI/older-users/
* Developing Websites for Older People: How Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Applies
 https://www.w3.org/WAI/older-users/developing/
* Overview of “Web Accessibility for Older Users: A Literature Review”
 https://www.w3.org/WAI/older-users/literature/

Best,
~Shawn

Jeanne: The groups working on cognitive related guidelines work on addressing this. Things like consistent navigation, captchas, etc. It is important and hope it will continue to be a big part of WCAG 3
... Not specifically addressing the elderly, it is more woven in. Not aware of any age related guidelines, but can address if it comes up.
