Comment (including rationale for any proposed change):

Most of this (at least at the higher levels) helps blind folks access error information. That is good. Clearly what is missing hear is a game plan for helping people with a learning disability , who have trouble filling in forms.

Forms are real nightmears for a lot of us. In fact I often do not deposit checks and perform other tasks because of the barrier that form filling presents.

Things that make it harder include short labels that do not explain what they are, coping numbers, Non expandable, small fonts. Too much information on one page. Information not being well grouped such as user information, payment information. Then with the short labels I get confused what is what. Server time outs. Asking a lot of information to make forms simpler to process but make form filling much harder and more complex.

For example on this form on line it is much simpler (but PF preferred this table .. oh well) .... the options could be in a combo box as filled out meaningfully text...

Proposed Change:

Perform user testing with different groups of people with learning disabilities and cognitive limitations - including age related.
