11 11  Motor disabilities fall into the same category as the perceptual ones. The interaction with the robot itself does not require any form of movement (other than speaking), but the patient may have issues with accomplishing the tasks. Help with doing the tasks is not something that the robot is designed to do, and as NAO is quite small, this could also be challenging. However, tasks that involve carrying a small object around are ones where the robot can actually help.

13 13  ==== Cognitive disabilities ====
14 -People with dementia are the main users of the system, so the robot is designed around this cognitive disability. Other cognitive disabilities might affect the user's ability to speak and/or process audio signals, which, in turn, makes interacting with the robot more difficult. While this is true, the robot does not expect full sentence asnwers to its questions, and only focuses on keywords associated with the concept. For example, when the robot plays the song associated with the activity of going to the bathroom, it does not expect to hear specifically "I am going to the bathroom", but instead one of: "bathroom", "toilet", "loo", etc.
