Abstract
As recent studies show, people with disabilities still face several problems when using the web, therefore, even with all the efforts already made, there are yet issues without a clear solution. In this context, this paper presents an empirical study on the identification of navigation barriers by users with cerebral palsy and how some dynamic components, widely used nowadays, can directly influence their online activities.
