Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In this study, the authors developed a Web server in that registered users can download three different types of PDF documents as well as mp3 audio files with Podcast format. The developed system is based on a pioneering Web site called News-2-You in US with the permission from them. The amount of the documents is 264 pages and corresponding audio narration.

Forty-eight teachers and professionals in the field of education for the children with intellectually disabilities were participated to an evaluation study. Results suggested that those contents are usable as well as PDFs in monochrome version looked more stable than those of colored version. Practical news reading procedures were discussed based on the results. Farther more, issues to be sold were discussed and several research papers regarding accessibilities for the person with intellectual disabilities were also reviewed.
