More interview questions for general users

    <Lauriat> Adding a question: how well do accessibility
    guidelines support people with disabilities your organization
    supports?

    Jeanne: Listening to ID24, I was struck by how many
    disabilities are not covered by WCAG

    Charles: Did you watch the session on pain?

    Jeanne: Yes, it was striking. Also the session on switch users.
    I thought they were covered by WCAG, but they have more needs
    that WCAG doesn't addresss

interview project next steps

    Shawn: I have a pilot interview for a next step

    <scribe> ACTION: Jeanne to do the pilot interview with Michael
    Cooper on Conformance

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-133 - Do the pilot interview with
    michael cooper on conformance [on Jeanne F Spellman - due
    2017-11-24].

    <Charles> for the Conformance Interviews, I came across great
    considerations in this article from David MacDonald:

    <Jan> I am here, but I am on the phone with a doctor.

making a list of disabilities that we want to be sure we have
stakeholders and input from

    Shawn: This came from a request from Lisa Seaman following the
    SIlver presentation to the AG working group
    ... I was thinking about sending a survey that has an optional
    question to ask if the person has a disability so we could get
    an idea of the representation of PwD we are getting.

    Charles: Some under-[represented disabilities are Tactile and
    Sensory Processing

    Shawn: Some people on the autism spectrum have so many
    manifestations of symptons and needs

    Jeanne: That is true of low vision as well.
    ... we need to include the needs of switch users
    ... voice input users
    ... traumatic brain injury
    ... deaf-blind users
    ... aphasia - we have a researcher that is studying needs of
    Aphasia users
    ... ability impairments, like cerebral palsy with fine motor
    control
    ... AAC users

    Jan: T here is confusion around user symbols for people. This
    needs more research. Each AAC manufacturer has it's own
    iconography, and translates that into text. I think that
    standardizing symbols is the wrong approach
    ... TBI is under the COGA umbrella

    Jeanne: Does TBI covered under COGA? Or do they have specific
    needs?

    Jan: I think COGA will cover it.

    Imelda: Among the population who struggle the most at a
    disability center where we provide services, are those with
    TBI.

    <scribe> ACTION: jeanne to turn the list of underserved
    disabilities into a document on the wiki.

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-134 - Turn the list of underserved
    disabilities into a document on the wiki. [on Jeanne F Spellman
    - due 2017-11-24].

Design Workshop

    Jeanne: I have started working on that and have reached out to
    my contact to reserve us space on Monday and Tuesday before
    CSUN.
    ... we need to get the info out to people before the end of
    November

Next meeting

    We will meet on Tuesday November 21, and cancel the meeting on
    Friday November 24 because of US Thanksgiving holiday.
