Abstract

An important aspect in software development nowadays is digital opportunities for meeting the needs of disadvantaged affected people with Special Education Needs (SEN). In this article, we consider the problem of identifying and improving the accessibility of web platforms designed for users who have SEN. To achieve this goal, a model was created and implemented in the web platform sopbg.org. The specialized website, which is maintained and developed by the authors of the publication, unites a community of several thousand users with SEN. The intensive consumption of the platform provided the authors with the opportunity to make a number of improvements to the applied model, some of which should be considered.
