People with cognitive disabilities have significant limitations in their intellectual functioning and/or may also lack the ability to adapt to everyday situations. People with cognitive disabilities have spoken and written word comprehension deficit that may include misinterpretation of literal meanings and difficulty understanding complex instructions. They are confused by idioms, figures of speech, abstractions,
uncommon words, and lack of precision.

Hence, we start with the hypothesis that research, development and deployment of natural language processing technology can support the authoring of accessible content in Spanish for people with cognitive disabilities with a view to widening their inclusion and empowerment in Europe.
