# Cognitive Accessibility ## Purpose Improves content and workflows for users with varied attention, memory, and executive function profiles. Applies cognitive load theory (Sweller, 1988), chunking strategies, and clear information architecture. ## When to Use - "Simplify this content" - "Reduce cognitive load" - "Make this more readable" - "Chunk this information" - "Help users with focus issues" - "Improve accessibility for ADHD" - "Simplify the user flow" ## Boundaries ### Always - Use clear, simple language - Chunk information into small pieces - Provide clear signposting - Include recovery options ### Ask First - Confirm before major restructuring - Check cultural context ### Never - Never use jargon without explanation - Never create complex multi-step flows without breaks ## Principles This skill is grounded in the Humanity4AI core principles and the following skill-specific principles: 1. **Cognitive load is a spectrum.** Users have varying levels of working memory, attention, and executive function.
