RE comments on draft of Making Content Usable for People with Cognitive and Learning Disabilities

Hello Clayton, Ben and Nancy



Thank you for your wonderful review! We have put in most of your suggestions into the next version.

As well the editorial comments and clarifications, we have also:

Added Ben's suggestion for a help/orientation button into the examples of pattern 4.2.4 - make each step clear.

Added shifting font sizes  to the pattern on personalization support

Added to Tom's (now Kwame's) persona the following: "He struggles  keeping track of what he is doing in complex tasks.It is important for Tom to have the steps of tasks clearly presented, and a mechanism like breadcrumbs that helps Tom keep track of where he is in a task with multiple steps.Tom appreciates it when  tasks are as simple as possible. "It can't ever be too simple," he says.

Added to Tom's (now Kwame's) persona the following: Kwame also prefers larger fonts. Reading smaller text takes up mental energy that isn't available for trying to understand what is being said.



There were a few points that we have to postpone for now. Specifically:

We feel that the rainbow approach is out of scope for this document which is  guidance for Web content. (Issue 

We can attempt to expand and review Sec 3.7.3 in more detail in the next version.  Similarly we can review  4.2.5.2  then as well. (https://github.com/w3c/coga/issues/244)

We also feel the AI suggestions are not reliable enough yet to be recommended. However we would like to add this to research topics. Likewise we feel more research is needed before we can suggest that divide numbers need to be big. We would welcome any additional comments, research or contributions from you ongoing.  (https://github.com/w3c/coga/issues/245)

We can review the ability to make reminders loud for the next version (https://github.com/w3c/coga/issues/243)



Thanks again for your wonderful contributions



The task force.


All the best
