DESCRIPTION:https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/708306ba-18f3-4284-a93a-ecd5
 060a5ecd/\n\nThis session will explore the findings and user needs describ
 ed in a working draft note of four research modules published in February 
 2026 by the Cognitive and Learning Disabilities (COGA) Task Force.\n\nThe 
 research modules are primarily intended for groups in the World Wide Web C
 onsortium (W3C) that may want to include our use cases or understand the t
 opics from a broader perspective.  \n\nThey may also contain useful inform
 ation for:\n* researchers\,\n* inclusion and research-related policy maker
 s\,\n* designers\, content creators\, and developers who wish to have a mo
 re in-depth understanding of inclusion issues.\n\nThe session will review 
 the following modules:\n* [Voice Systems and Conversational Interfaces](ht
 tps://www.w3.org/TR/2026/DNOTE-coga-voice-20260205/): This module covers i
 ssues that our users face when using conversational voice systems\, includ
 ing voice menu systems\, voice user interfaces\, and voice AI assistants.\
 n* [Technology-Assisted Indoor Navigation and Wayfinding](https://www.w3.o
 rg/TR/2026/DNOTE-coga-wayfinding-20260205/): This module is about technolo
 gy that helps users who need cognitive accessibility support navigate indo
 or spaces\, also known as wayfinding.\n* [Online Safety and Wellbeing (Alg
 orithms and Data)](https://www.w3.org/TR/2026/DNOTE-coga-safety-20260205/)
 : People with disabilities that require cognitive accessibility support fa
 ce a number of risks when using the internet and apps. This module covers 
 safety issues that our users face on the internet including cybercrime\, m
 ental health\, wellbeing\, privacy\, and more.\n* [Supported Decision-Maki
 ng Online](https://www.w3.org/TR/2026/DNOTE-coga-sdm-20260205/): This modu
 le describes the advantages and risks of supporting Supported Decision-Mak
 ing (SDM). It offers suggestions for safely supporting SDM online\, helpin
 g more people take part in the digital world while keeping their dignity a
 nd independence.\n\n**Link to slide deck:** [https://docs.google.com/prese

 8pzDQzOw/edit?usp=sharing)\n\n**Goal(s):**\n- **Raise awareness** of the c
 ognitive accessibility related issues identified in the drafts. \n- **Disc
 uss user needs and barriers** influenced by issues such as cognitive load\
 , memory\, social reasoning\, and mental health.\n- **Explore practical so
 lutions.**\n- **Collect community feedback** on what may be missing in the
  draft modules\, such as user scenarios\, technology\, user needs\, or res
 earch.\n- **Identify opportunities for cross-group collaboration** within 
 W3C groups (e.g.\, COGA TF\, APA WG\, AG WG\, and other relevant groups).\
 n\nAgenda\n\n1. **Today's Goals and COGA Background (5 minutes)** \n2. **C
 OGA's Research Modules (25 minutes):** This will include examples of user 
 needs and challenges as well as possible solutions and other relevant W3C 
 work. \n3. **Questions and Feedback (20 minutes):** Discuss opportunities 
 to enhance this draft note\, explore new areas for research\, and collabor
 ate with other W3C teams on standards and research work.\n4. **Wrap-up and
  Next Steps (10 minutes):** Summarize key takeaways and outline follow-up 
 actions or collaborations.\n\n**Materials:**\n- [minutes](https://www.w3.o
