There are lots of different cognitive disabilities that may affect your users' ability to effectively interact with your web maps. Users may encounter difficulties with memory, problem-solving, attention, verbal comprehension, math comprehension, visual and text comprehension, etc.
In general, keeping your maps as simple and well-organized as possible will help your users with cognitive disabilities get the most out of your maps!
Keep in mind that some users may have difficulty using a mouse, accessing interactive or dynamic JavaScript elements on a page, or clicking on small buttons and links. Conditions such as severe arthritis or fibromyalgia may also limit users' ability to engage with tactile elements on mobile devices.
