This is a complex subject. as an analogy imagine taking a photo, now it does represent a part of reality. However if we insisted on understanding the semantics of images before using it we would have problems. It is a fact that images are more accessible than words to non readers. To recommend their use is hardly controversial. However to construct a theory of narrative use of images and its success with LD is very difficult. This is tantamount to predicting if a (film) story will be successful, and this is notoriously difficult. It has to amuse motivate educate and generally fit the needs of carer and user, a tall order. did you look at William Loughborough's reworking of the WAI homepage. http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/WAI-home Not to everyone's liking but definitely more accessible to many and I would guess more people. jay@peepo.com a www for those learning to read.
