Abstract

Accessible web for people with cognitive or learning disabilities doesn’t only mean easy-to-read and font size magnification. Every interaction has to be reflected according to the needs of this target group. This paper describes the first step towards an easy-to-web search user interface which helps people with learning disabilities to start a query with a correct written and meaningful search word. It is also a suggestion how the guideline 3.3 “Input assistance” of the WCAG 2.0 could be fulfilled in the field of search function and cognitive accessibility.
