Individuals with intellectual disabilities face accessibility barriers due to the fact that text contents found on web pages are often not accessible. In order to prevent this situation from occurring, accessibility guidelines as Easy to Read, WCAG 2.1 and Plain Language guidelines must be followed. This paper presents a study of accessibility guidelines and a system which performs lexical simplification in order to systematize compliance with accessibility guidelines, as well as generating an accessible user interface with the simplified text.
