hi, The paper cover Dyslexia and Dyslexic-like specific learning difficulties. But it does it does not specifically cover the "learning disabled", "Severe Learning Difficulties" or Cognitive disabilities. My remit is for those who could be potentially studying at a minimum of a Further Educational level. You might find that the paper covers many of the issues but it completely side-steps the issues when a student has a savere language difficulty or savere cognition problem... I would need to go into talking about the appropriateness of content, symbolic communications. etc etc. I do hope within the future to write a similar paper about web accessibility for those with hearing impairment (including pre- lingually deaf). pete Quoting Jonathan Chetwynd <j.chetwynd@btinternet.com>: > Peter, > > to clear up a possible confusion, can you confirm that you're use of > > SLD refers to specific learning difficulty or dyslexia, and not > Severe > Learning Difficulties or cognitive disability? > > looks to be a great resource, we now link to it and > http://www.techdis.ac.uk/seven/disability_and_the_web.html from > http://www.learningdifferently.com/develop/papers.html where there > are > links to many other useful resources on LDD and the web > > thanks > > Jonathan > >
