One of the gaps I see is that addressing cognitive access does not default
to basic UI adaptations. We are also going to need other service features
that will be required. Here are just a few:
Reminder services for people experiencing attention deficit or short
term memory loss
breadcrumbs "
online glossaries for people with learning impairments and a vehicle for
accessing them
social collaboration solutions (instant messaging, etc. ) for users that
prefer to operate in a group
We need a defined strategy for these and other features will need to
deliver - Specs., services, authoring tools, etc.
The points I list came out of the Preference for Global Access project we
are doing with NIDDR and the Department of Education.

Subject: RE: potential vision document for COGA
Hi Lisa and All,
I think the roadmap is a good one. It is representative of the approach we
have been discussing during the past several conferences. I especially
support documenting techniques by cognitive function, first those that are
good for (almost all) groups, then those specific to only some groups.
I don’t see a step I suggest should be added to the roadmap:
· user testing and/or empirical research related to the
techniques we are documenting.

Subject: potential vision document for COGA
I put up another document as a potential vision document to share what I
see as our collective thoughts on where we could be going. It also shows
how some of the different pieces and documents fit together.
It is important because the sections of the gap analysis we are working on
needs to support what we might want to do.
Let me know were you think changes are needed. It is just a first draft for
discussion purposes.
Please take a look
