Abstract
Persons with cognitive impairments form a diverse group, with limitations in one or more types of mental tasks such as conceptualizing, planning, remembering and understanding numbers and symbols. It has been recognized that current accessibility guidelines provide limited support for these persons and that more work is needed. ETSI has established a team of experts, STF 488, which intends to produce (1) a set of usage needs of persons with cognitive impairments when using mobile devices and applications and (2) a set of guidelines to develop mobile ICT with cognitive accessibility. This paper describes the ongoing work of STF 488, its approach, current results and the future work of the team.
