The COGA Community Group will also work together on some topics, brainstorming and building a community dedicated to improved access for all.
However, the community group will specifically benefit from including: - people with learning and cognitive disabilities, people with mental health challenges, - caregivers, therapists and people who work with people with learning, cognitive challenges and in mental health, - researchers, developers, quality assurance professionals, and user interface experts, industry, looking to share and support ideas, and policy makers.
