Re: 2.1 COGA guidelines user research - important!

I have read it thoroughly and found it very interesting. I used to be on the Board of Directors of a Down Syndrome organization here in the Bay Area. We had Stanford scientists conducting cognitive research with us related to alternative Augmented Communication  devices and this pairs with it nicely.

I didn’t see anywhere in the email requesting a response. I took it as an FYI

Hey Everybody!

I know there is a lot of noise in the W3C email we all receive, but nobody has yet responded to the message below. It’s about a wonderful, detailed, user-research study of the efficacy of the 2.1 cognitive accessibility guidelines we developed!!!

Hi All,

I think you will love, “Web Page Design Recommendations for People with Down Syndrome Based on Users’ Experiences<https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mdpi.com%2F1424-8220%2F18%2F11%2F4047%2Fhtm&data=02%7C01%7Cjohn.rochford%40umassmed.edu%7Cd3f8270009dc44e0626708d76dbc54bf%7Cee9155fe2da34378a6c44405faf57b2e%7C0%7C0%7C637098527962040569&sdata=l15NLJz5%2BX%2FTYpSMSQ0QsJSWX552oVmjobCQxf1%2BgPg%3D&reserved=0>.” It was published in 2018. Perhaps everyone but I knows about this already.

“In this article we define the importance of website accessibility for the inclusion of people with Down syndrome. We defined the existing accessibility and web usability guidelines and analyzed the newly approved Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 guidelines.”
