Lisa I read these carefully worked on wiki pages and keep wondering if we really need to go into medical details. I found no needs for people with Down Syndrome that were not likely to occur for other people. A number of the problems are physical and covered in the general run of things about accessibility, and I think the cognitive needs should be taken out and listed as potential needs of people - regardless of which medical condition has led to them. This is not to say it's not useful to work, as we are, from medical conditions to the list of needs because I think that is a good way to get them all. But I repeat, that once that has been done, I'd like to see all references to medical classifications removed - and I would like to see use cases that do not 'target' particular medical conditions. I will not join the teleconf at 2.00 am tonight - it is about to be very cold and I am lazy :-( I am aware that others have far more to contend with and my heart goes out to you and them.
