Kynn omitted to mention that you might also like to spend a good while studying: http://www.peepo.com and http://www.learningdifficulty.org and the sites they link to. In particular http://www.peepo.com/alf/s.html has examples of good practice and http://www.learningdifficulty.org/develop/inclusion.html links to many academic resources. I don't consider that the W3C WAI document on "How People with Disabilities Use the Web." is helpful, rather the opposite, and I have stated this at the time and regularly since. Very few people with Learning difficulties have significant disposable income. They thus are becoming seriously excluded for a number of reasons: Socially Financially within the predominantly capitalist states. Technologically. Whilst there is a reductionist insistence on normative documents, it is very unlikely that W3C WAI will publish constructive guidelines or aids for this very large group. I look forward to your comments and feedback. jonathan chetwynd IT teacher (LDD) j.chetwynd@btinternet.com http://www.peepo.com "The first and still the best picture directory on the web"
