Abstract

For people with cognitive disabilities, access to mainstream content is crucial, for educational materials, and for access to other information and services essential to participation in society. Key features for these users are clear, simple presentation (of navigation and interaction as well as content), multimodal presentation to assist with difficulty in processing text, and access to definitions of unfamiliar terms. Simple configurability of presentation, ideally via online profiles, is also important. The Fluid project family is developing technical approaches for realizing these facilities automatically, without requiring content and service providers to develop separate sites for accessibility.
