The Accessible Platform Architectures and Accessibility Guidelines
Working Groups have published a first Working Draft of Cognitive
Accessibility Roadmap and Gap Analysis:
https://www.w3.org/TR/coga-gap-analysis/
This document was developed over the past couple years by the Cognitive
and Learning Disabilities Accessibility Task Force. It explores user
needs for people with cognitive or learning disabilities and identifies
where additional web content authoring guidance is needed to help
authors meet these needs. This information is important to new guidance
being added to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. Its publication
now provides background to some of the new success criteria in WCAG 2.1
and describes user needs to be addressed in future versions of the
guidelines. The task has been working on enhanced content for the table
of user needs which is available at
http://w3c.github.io/coga/gap-analysis/table.html and is expected to be
incorporated into a future version of this document.
If you have comments on this draft, we prefer that you file input as new
issues in GitHub at:
https://github.com/w3c/coga/issues/
Alternatively, you can send email to:
public-coga-comments@w3.org <mailto:public-coga-comments@w3.org>
Comments are requested by 16 January 2018 but will continue to be
reviewed after that date as well.
