What we do know about how to make datavis accessible comes from literature related to people living with cognitive difficulties
Do we need new guidance for people with language difficulties?

Poster showing a resrach project with 2 people. They practiced semantic feature analysis therapy using a custom built alexa skill on the Amazon Firestick. One person practised successfully for 5 weeks and made a significant improvement in naming ability. A second participant tried the therapy for one week and then discontinued because of frustration with the speech recognition.
Can we use an #Alexa device to support #aphasia therapy?
Here's a poster summary of some work I presented yesterday the the Bristol Aphasiology Society conference in Leicester.
