[of Web Users] Neurological #47

Closed shawna-slh closed 7 years ago

https://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/people-use-web/diversity#cognitive was "Cognitive and neurological"

https://w3c.github.io/wai-people-use-web/diversity#cognitive has "Cognitive and learning"

The content of that section includes important non-cognitive neurological issues, including:

They may affect any part of the nervous system and impact how well people hear, move, see, speak,... Multiple sclerosis - causes damage to nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, and can affect auditory, cognitive, physical, or visual abilities, in particular during relapses.

While I am undoubtedly personally biased on this point :-/, I think it's important to keep the broader neurological in the document. Perhaps we go back to how it was before, and consider different ways of addressing it in later revision? Maybe for now change the title to:

Cognitive, learning, and neurological

To be clear, it has been kept in the document (as opposed to some suggestions from CoGa so far). But you are asking for this to be reflected in the heading as well, correct?

shawna-slh commented 7 years ago

Correct - including neurological in head as well.

Changed to "cognitive, learning, and neurological" until we receive input from CoGa group, in which case this entire section may change.
