Cognitive accessibility is closely tied to WCAG 2.0 Principle 3: Understandable which states that 'Information and the operation of user interface must be understandable'. (WebAIM does a great job in explaining what Cognitive Disabilities actually are.) The guidelines under this principle are:
- Guideline 3.1 Readable: Make text content readable and understandable.
- Guideline 3.2 Predictable: Make Web pages appear and operate in predictable ways.
- Guideline 3.3 Input Assistance: Help users avoid and correct mistakes.
There's been an increase in articles about cognitive accessibility which is great because it's the most difficult and typically least discussed. Here's a great list of them below. Feel free to comment with any that were missed.
