RE: Review of COGA persona

I  will try to be on the call tomorrow but I am working with a student who has her viva the next day.

I can work with Abi on her suggested personas and have been writing a glossary for some AAC training modules that will be licenced cc-by-4.0, so any useful terms can be added to our glossary.

Best wishes

Subject: Review of COGA persona

Hi all

I've had a task to look at the COGA persona page https://w3c.github.io/coga/persona/index.html<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fw3c.github.io%2Fcoga%2Fpersona%2Findex.html&data=01%7C01%7Cead%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7Ce66e8d61d0254264cb2108d71b5b16e4%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0&sdata=7trGsYQnc2X8%2BHRuEdav2VWOehbK8Qpbt9zycqjhNtc%3D&reserved=0>. I was hoping to be able to contribute some dementia related personas but the project that has developed them has not published them in full yet.

The other part of my task was to consider if there were any areas of COGA not represented in the personas. I have compared our current page to the ETSI publications "Human Factors (HF); Functional needs of people with cognitive disabilities when using mobile ICT devices for an improved user experience in mobile ICT devices<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsi.org%2Fdeliver%2Fetsi_tr%2F103300_103399%2F103349%2F01.01.01_60%2Ftr_103349v010101p.pdf&data=01%7C01%7Cead%40ecs.soton.ac.uk%7Ce66e8d61d0254264cb2108d71b5b16e4%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0&sdata=BDD7cXzUsQqi%2FjqG0%2BW8p5I3UT7aY3d%2Bqp7A8LwiUV0%3D&reserved=0>".

At the moment we do not have personas covering the following areas:
-          Aphasia
-          Speech and language impairments
-          ADHD

I would suggest that we look to add personas covering these areas. I think it would be helpful to includes general concentration difficulties as well (which is related to long-term illness and mental health as much as a specific cognitive disability). I would be happy to help do further work on these personas in September after the holidays.

Best wishes
