Abstract
Most research activities on web accessibility focus on people with physical or sensory disabilities, while potential users with cognitive disabilities still lack adequate solutions to overcome barriers resulting from their disability. The innovative graphical user interface to be developed within the project CAPKOM intends to change this. In a novel approach, this user interface shall be instantly adaptable to the very different demands of people with cognitive disabilities. Iterative user tests will feed results into practical software development, first exemplified by a community art portal for people with cognitive disability.
