77 +Inclusive Design in the SALLe Project:

79 +Since our robot is made to be used by people with dementia we have to consider the following possible disabilities:
80 +* cognitive disability
81 +** memory
82 +** orientation -> wandering
83 +* motor
84 +** limited endurance, strength, range of motion (due to old age)
85 +** use of mobility assistance ("Rollator")
86 +* slow movement and processing of environment, speech etc.
87 +* difficulties in seeing: especially small things, reading screens (Varifocal glasses)
88 +* difficulties in hearing: high frequencies, silent speech/ sounds
89 +
90 +of course, there can be several other disabilities that are not related to old age or dementia.
91 +
92 +How to address these disabilities and make our robot accessible to them:
93 +* cognitive disability:
94 +
95 +* motor
96 +** no need, since pepper is also kind of "disabled" in motion and can't handle stairs:D
97 +** pepper can be used without motions, pressing buttons etc.
98 +
99 +* slow movement and processing of environment, speech etc.:
100 +** reduce speed of peppers speech (there is a toolbar to lower the speed)
101 +** use easy language
102 +** underline what has been said by showing images on the tablet. Don't switch the images to fast
103 +** wait long enough for response
104 +* difficulties in seeing:
105 +** use large images in high quality
106 +** good lightning of tablet
107 +* difficulties in hearing:
108 +** slow speech
109 +** loud (but be careful with the amplitude of music, since to loud music can be stressful)
110 +** good pronunciation of words
