Hi Elizabeth,
Loved the Tech Talk, got us thinking about a lot of the elements in RCE. I
was curious how much you deal with web standards. I spent a great deal of
time formatting one specific webpage to be as standards-compliant /and/
accessible as possible, which meant following HTML5 and ARIA for the most
part. They have a test tool here:
http://wave.webaim.org/ but it doesn't
cover everything.
I learned that certain formatting can assist people with dyslexia, and
there are guidelines to improve their user experience:

.
I concluded that it would essentially require a separate CSS file, and a
little JS maybe to allow users to switch between the two. But other wise
doable I think. (Sadly I didn't quite get that far myself, and there
doesn't seem to be any other guidelines for this.)
Any thoughts on something like this? Are there other visual/neurological
impairments that you've come across that websites can format for?
