Hi All,
Frankly, I don’t understand the need for this document. We cover it all in Making Content Usable.

Thanks for the reminder, Lisa.

Was COGA consulted in creating the section on "Cognitive, learning and neurological disabilities<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdeploy-preview-113--wai-people-use-web.netlify.app%2Fpeople-use-web%2Fabilities-barriers-cognitive%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cjohn.rochford%40umassmed.edu%7Cf3aabf1c309e481e8b8e08d9bebac699%7Cee9155fe2da34378a6c44405faf57b2e%7C0%7C0%7C637750531681657505%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=6ivX7veMxmb%2FS5pzIpra06p0ZAMG2I2fwwOg99rqkI4%3D&reserved=0>"? Here are a few things in this section that caught my attention:

  *   The first sentence in the summary is not easy to understand: "Cognitive, learning, and neurological disabilities involve neurodiversity and neurological disorders, as well as behavioral and mental health disorders that are not necessarily neurological."
  *   The list of examples has a bullet for "multiple sclerosis" and a bullet for "seizure disorders."
  *   The list of examples does not mention "brain injury" or "aphasia" (although the "memory impairments" bullet does mention "limited ability to recall language, so maybe that is a reference to aphasia?)

his is expected to be a "last call" for this resource. They would like to resolve all major comments with this round of review. !

We may ask for more time, but getting some comments in now is better!

All the best
Lisa
