Change Proposal:

Location:
Abstract Section of COGA Usable Content Guide

Description:
The abstract of the document provides a good overview of the intended content but could benefit from clearer specificity regarding the scope of cognitive and learning disabilities covered. This would help readers better understand the breadth of the document’s applicability and ensure inclusivity.

Current Wording:
The document currently outlines its content focus on:

• people with cognitive and learning disabilities,
• aims and objectives for usable content,
• design patterns for making content usable,
• inclusion of users in design and testing activities,
• personas and user needs.

Proposed Additions:
To enhance clarity and comprehensiveness, I suggest expanding the list of specific conditions and considerations addressed by the document. The additions could include:

• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI),
• Age-Related Cognitive Decline,
• Psychological Disabilities, such as:
  • Anxiety,
  • PTSD,
• Other Neurological Conditions, such as:
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD),
  • Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD),
  • Dyslexia,
  • Epilepsy,
  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD),
  • Memory Impairments.
