Designing for people who do not read easily
Many people do not read easily for all sorts of reasons: social and cultural, because of impairments, or because of their context. Even in the area of impairments, design for people with learning disabilities might be very different from design for people with visual impairments. But many sets of guidelines, such as WCAG 2.0, are promulgated that attempt to provide one unified approach to design. This workshop will attempt to explore issues in design for people who do not read easily: what do we know, what commonalities can we exploit, and what we need to find out. General Terms Human Factors Keywords Design; readability; literacy; accessibility; visual impairments; social access to literacy; neurodiversity; cognitive impairment; learning disability
