Us 5 - BBC online videos help people with learning difficulties make their choices

11th January 2010

People who have learning difficulties make up 3% of the population, and they often get overlooked when discussing website accessibility. 

This is partly because there isn't enough known in the accessibility community about how to make websites accessible to people with learning difficulties, and partly because their needs - for pages based around pictures or graphics, with simple text and large buttons for navigation - can often be so different from the needs of other website users.
