Abstract
With current advancements in technologies like natural language processing engines and image recognition software the development of a tool that would automatically translate content, that is too difficult to understand for the individual person with cognitive disabilities, into an easier to understand, alternative format seems possible. In this paper we want to describe the idea to create a flexible extensible framework that would help people with cognitive disabilities to better understands and navigate web-content.
