Hi Folks

To kick off  tomorrow's discussion I thought I would throw out some ideas
to replace the phrase  cognitive and  learning disabilities and mental
health impairments.


   1. Making content usable for cognitive accessibility
   2. Making content  usable for people with cognitive and (specific)
   learning challenges and disabilities


I think this may include  mental health,  intellectual disabilities,
specific learning disabilities, TMI etc.

Quick reminder: The challenge is to:


   1. Include all our groups of users including:  cognitive disabilities,
   learning disabilities (LD), neurodiversity
   <https://www.w3.org/TR/coga-usable/#dfn-neurodiversity>, intellectual
   disabilities, mental health related disabilities, age related
   cognitive disabilities. TMI  and specific learning disabilities (I am sure
   there are more, but you get the idea...)
   2. mean the same thing in different locations, including  the EU, UK,
   and USA, and
   3. use the terms needed to promote  due accommodation under the law. So
   disability is a good word to include.

Your thoughts?

All the best
