Re: Sensory Characteristics // Further clarification request

Thankyou everyone. I believe it was the instruction of not relying on
someone understanding a shape, that was making me overly concerned about
using only an icon as an indication of what a button does, but this all
makes good sense! I just need to be wary of instructions for use of the
button and that more than one instruction is required (such as name &
position liked used earlier).

Thankyou for the clarifications!

All the best,

Euan.
