Abstract

We describe requirements for dyslexia-userfriendly web based on specific needs of these users. Fragments of a very general methodology for handicapped users (like Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0, hereinafter referred to as WCAG 2.0) are taken into account, adapted to users with cognitive impairment, namely dyslexia. Web accessibility for people with specific learning difficulties is still not suitable. We summarize knowledge about accessibility guidelines, outline a tool that would monitor and bring together all requirements above these stated in WCAG 2.0, and that could detect inconvenient elements of web pages, changing insufficient content into default one.
