Abstract
In this paper, we present results from work done within the project WAI-Act and an online-symposium [1] initiated and put in place by the W3C/WAI RDWG (Research and Development Working Group) aiming at raising awareness and collecting / de-riving concise and up-to-date recommendations, guidelines, standards and tools for enhancing the web experience for users with cognitive disabilities and other groups facing problems with "standard" information on the Web and its applications.
