Lisa, Whether or not we are talking about metadata information as well as visual/accessible tags in the documents – I think you are on the right track. However, my suggestion is to tag it both ways, by cognitive function and disability – in both visible/accessible and metadata information (where possible). * katie * Katie Haritos-Shea Senior Accessibility SME (WCAG/Section 508/ADA/AODA) Cell: 703-371-5545 | <mailto:ryladog@gmail.com> ryladog@gmail.com | Oakton, VA | <http://www.linkedin.com/in/katieharitosshea/> LinkedIn Profile | Office: 703-371-5545 From: lisa.seeman [mailto:lisa.seeman@zoho.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2014 6:49 AM To: public-cognitive-a11y-tf Cc: Tim Boland Subject: Another argument for use of cognative function tags rather referring to disabilities. Hi Folks Michel and I were chatting, and we came out with another example for use of cognitive function tags rather referring to disabilities. I thought it was worth sharing :) Take a technique that helps people with ADD If we label it for ADD/ ADHD we have helped these users. On the other hand, if we label good for people with attention limitations we label it as helpful for: ADD, ADHD, disabilities such as Dementia, mental health issues such as people with PTSD, and people who just right now, need help focusing, because there is too much going on at the same time.
