➸ So a mage and a cleric walked into a tavern: cognitive access is a thing
And it’s as important as physical and sensory access
Cognitive access would be… providing summaries for long pieces of writing and using more concrete language, among other things, right?
I remembered coming across a blog that put emphasis…
And possibly using cognitive interpreters. Definitely allowing cognitive interpreters to exist, not obstructing them. I have horror stories. Including “you can’t possibly be interpreting her body language, she doesn’t HAVE any” and “things were just fine until YOU came along”.
Allowing for highly nonstandard forms of communication.
The language thing can be difficult too. A lot of people, instead of just simplifying the language, remove most of the content too. Which is pretty much never what I want.
It can mean the same things used by other disabled people such as screen readers and voice recognition for people who can’t read or write.
For me it often means allowing means of communication that are not language or symbols.
Not all forms of access are possible in all situations but more of them are possible in more situations than people want to think.
