When useful, address issues in the specific categories below.
Effect of memory impairments
Add specific issues for memory impairments.
Effect of impaired executive function
Add relevant information (if any).
Effect of impaired reasoning
Add issues for reasoning impairments.
Effect of attention-related limitations
Add issues for reasoning impairments.
Effect of impaired language related functions

Effect of impaired literacy related functions
Add relevant information (if any).
Effect of perception-processing limitations
Add relevant information (if any).
Effect of reduced knowledge
Add relevant information (if any).
Effect of impaired understanding of behaviors or consciousness

Proposed Solutions
Describe any proposed solutions and access strategies.
Describe the extent any proposed solutions make content accessible, e.g., fully, significantly, slightly reliable.
Are any proposed solutions:
-
tested or proposed? Proposed strategies are only interesting if we consider that they are likely to be very useful.
-
documented? Are there clear guidelines and techniques inside the WAI?
-
supported in standards? Can this strategy be accomplished via HTML 5 and other open W3C standards, e.g., in a single page, in an adaptable page?
-
WCAG compliant?
-
identifiable? Can users find content that supports this solution, e.g., via metadata?
Also, we should identify safety concerns and frustration levels. (Is the solution usable but frustrating?)
