Participation
You do not need to be an expert in all topics related to cognitive accessibility to join the community group. The COGA Community Group will work in smaller groups for specific subjects, giving you the opportunity to participate on the topics you choose.
The COGA Community Group will also work together on some topics, brainstorming and building a community dedicated to improved access for all.
However, the community group will specifically benefit from including: - people with learning and cognitive disabilities, people with mental health challenges, - caregivers, therapists and people who work with people with learning, cognitive challenges and in mental health, - researchers, developers, quality assurance professionals, and user interface experts, industry, looking to share and support ideas, and policy makers.
