Submission Type: Long Presentation

As the digital information takes more space in everyday life, users suffering from language impairments are left in a gap. It is essential that search systems take into account such impairments to help users.
Language impairments vary so much from one user to another that individual profiles need to be built in order to deal with each of them individually. By collaborating with cognitive sciences only the way to build and use such profiles are discovered. A use case of an adaptation of the whole information retrieval process for dyslexic users will be presented, where we deal the management of inputs from the users as well as the selection and presentation of search results. The proposed solutions have been built according to the cognitive process involved in writing and reading that affect dyslexic users.
