Cognitive Accessibility Guidelines

W3C guidance for making web content accessible to people with cognitive and learning disabilities, including intellectual disabilities, autism, dementia, ADHD, dyslexia, and dyscalculia. Published as a W3C Working Draft, COGA provides design patterns for supporting users in areas like understanding site purpose, finding content, task completion, and avoiding errors. Key recommendations include using clear language, consistent navigation, familiar metaphors, prominent help features, and avoiding time limits. COGA supplements WCAG with detailed guidance specific to cognitive access needs.
