Are there any killer guide for accessible websites for people with learning difficulties?

I have been tasked with creating a infosite for people with varying degrees of learning difficulty.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any really good guides, tutorials or places to get advice regarding the issue.

For web applications, my favorite "killer site" is the WebAIM site. (http://webaim.org/) I drew on their site heavily while creating the accessibilty guidelines we use at my current organization.

Things I really like about WebAIM: They have created the "WAVE toolbar," an automated tool for checking your website for basic accessibility issues. They periodically do a screen reader usage survey-- I've found no one else that has comparable data compiled over a number of years. They have simplified versions of official accessibility checklists. They are located at a University and are constanty testing and updating their guidelines.

The CEUD (here in Ireland) has actually got some excellent resources for accessibility in ICT. It's well worth a look for any developer.
