Thank you for sharing the key messages from the @daraprojectcity.bsky.social team scoping review @edldproject.bsky.social
Almost no research has explored whether data visualisations are accessible for people living with language disability.
The Dara study is looking to change that!
To ensure participation for all members of society, data vis needs to be accessible.

Stroke is the leading cause of #aphasia.
To mark #WorldStrokeDay we are raising awareness of a great resource from The Stroke Association to support people with aphasia to practice filling in forms online.

This #WorldStrokeDay we are raising awareness of #aphasia by talking about our research.
The @DaraProjectCity.bsky.social looks at everyday information - like maps, pie charts, and physical data to see how easy-to-use people with #aphasia or #DLD find it.

At #CGVC2024 today to share all that has been happening in the Dara Project at City University
Come and say hello and hear about accessible #datavis for people living with language disabilities, #aphasia and #DLD
Information sheet requesting research participation for Project dara. It says: "The Dara project 'Exploring Information' is looking for adults with Aphasia or Developmental Language Disorder' to explore visualisations." It goes on to explain "About the research" (data visualization for everyday decision making); "What will happen" (language assessment and diary exercise); and "Why this research is important" (existing research in data visualization doesn't consider language needs). If you are interested please contact Niamh.devane.2@city.ac.uk for more information.
The dara project is looking for adults (>18yrs) with #aphasia or developmental language disorder #DLD to take part research.
We are exploring how people with communication needs use visual information.
If you'd like to take part, we'd love to hear from you!
Screenshot of the first Dara advisory committee zoom call. 13 people are shown smiling at the camera from different Zoom windows. In the largest speaker view shot, 6 people are seated around a meeting table. The Dara logo comprising the word 'dara' and a green oak leaf is shown in the bottom left corner. Everyone looks happy.
Today is #WorldStrokeDay.
Our new EPSRC-funded Dara project is investigating and creating inclusive data visualization to support personal decision-making for people with communication impairments, including those with aphasia after stroke.
