I'm collecting information about the different ways brain injuries and Post Concussion Syndrome impact using the internet.

I have made contact with an organization that focuses on publishing guidelines for ease of accessibility of the internet.

Many web pages may be difficult to access due to the way the page is formatted.

Your comments are needed.

What struggles do people with brain injuries have accessing the internet. I'm not talking about WiFi or broadband access.

I am trying to present the struggles many of us have when we try to look at and use a web site to a global organization (W3C.org) that publishes guidelines for accessible web sites.

The issues are things like:

Shaded text, not enough contrast

Long lines of text that are difficult to follow.

Passwords hidden behind black dots making it hard to memorize or type in.

Image links that are vague

Images/icons that are hard to understand

Indistinguishable links, Is that picture a link?

Long paragraphs that are hard to follow from line to line.

Long pages that require excessive scrolling to find a link

Background images that distract the eyes.

Changing user interfaces that require relearning the web page. Banks do this a lot.
