Cognitive, Language, and Learning Discussion Group (CLLDG)
The Cognitive, Language, and Learning Discussion Group (CLLDG) is focused on advancing Web access for people with cognitive, language, and learning (CLL) disabilities. It also, will to some extent, address the needs of people with literacy problems until a separate group forms to address this important and related population.
The objective of this group is to identify the needs and preferred access features of people with various types of cognitive, language, and learning disaibilities. This group will work in conjunction with the Access Features MasterList group to determine necessary features to transform web content into a form that is easy to use and intuitive for people with CLL disabilities. It will also serve as the initial area for discussion of literacy issues, which will later be formed into a separate discussion group.
One deliverable from this group will be a list of potential solutions and an analysis of their relative usefulness to people with different CLL disabilities. This group will communicate with software exploration, research, and development projects to experiment with new technologies and methods.
Clayton Lewis, an expert in the field from the University of Colorado's Coleman Institute for Cognitive Disabilities, will be spearheading this effort.
