<Lauriat> Adding a question: how well do accessibility guidelines support people with disabilities your organization supports?
Jeanne: Listening to ID24, I was struck by how many disabilities are not covered by WCAG
Charles: Did you watch the session on pain?
Jeanne: Yes, it was striking. Also the session on switch users. I thought they were covered by WCAG, but they have more needs that WCAG doesn't addresss
Shawn: I have a pilot interview for a next step
<scribe> ACTION: Jeanne to do the pilot interview with Michael Cooper on Conformance
<trackbot> Created ACTION-133 - Do the pilot interview with michael cooper on conformance [on Jeanne F Spellman - due 2017-11-24].
<Charles> for the Conformance Interviews, I came across great considerations in this article from David MacDonald: http://www.davidmacd.com/blog/what-are-WCAG-success-criteria.html
<Jan> I am here, but I am on the phone with a doctor.
Shawn: This came from a request
from Lisa Seaman following the SIlver presentation to the AG
working group
... I was thinking about sending a survey that has an optional
question to ask if the person has a disability so we could get
an idea of the representation of PwD we are getting.
Charles: Some under-[represented disabilities are Tactile and Sensory Processing
Shawn: Some people on the autism spectrum have so many manifestations of symptons and needs
Jeanne: That is true of low
vision as well.
... we need to include the needs of switch users
... voice input users
... traumatic brain injury
... deaf-blind users
... aphasia - we have a researcher that is studying needs of
Aphasia users
... ability impairments, like cerebral palsy with fine motor
control
... AAC users
Jan: T here is confusion around
user symbols for people. This needs more research. Each AAC
manufacturer has it's own iconography, and translates that into
text. I think that standardizing symbols is the wrong
approach
... TBI is under the COGA umbrella
Jeanne: Does TBI covered under COGA? Or do they have specific needs?
Jan: I think COGA will cover it.
Imelda: Among the population who struggle the most at a disability center where we provide services, are those with TBI.
<scribe> ACTION: jeanne to turn the list of underserved disabilities into a document on the wiki.
<trackbot> Created ACTION-134 - Turn the list of underserved disabilities into a document on the wiki. [on Jeanne F Spellman - due 2017-11-24].
Jeanne: I have started working on
that and have reached out to my contact to reserve us space on
Monday and Tuesday before CSUN.
... we need to get the info out to people before the end of
November
We will meet on Tuesday November 21, and cancel the meeting on Friday November 24 because of US Thanksgiving holiday.
