117 +Since our robot is made to be used by people with dementia we have to consider the following possible disabilities:
118 +* cognitive disability
119 +** memory
120 +** orientation -> wandering
121 +* motor
122 +** limited endurance, strength, range of motion (due to old age)
123 +** use of mobility assistance ("Rollator")
124 +* slow movement and processing of environment, speech etc.
125 +* difficulties in seeing: especially small things, reading screens (Varifocal glasses)
126 +* difficulties in hearing: high frequencies, silent speech/ sounds
127 +
128 +of course, there can be several other disabilities that are not related to old age or dementia.
129 +
130 +How to address these disabilities and make our robot accessible to them:
131 +* cognitive disability:
132 +
133 +* motor
134 +** no need, since pepper is also kind of "disabled" in motion and can't handle stairs:D
135 +** pepper can be used without motions, pressing buttons etc.
136 +
137 +* slow movement and processing of environment, speech etc.:
138 +** reduce speed of peppers speech (there is a toolbar to lower the speed)
139 +** use easy language
140 +** underline what has been said by showing images on the tablet. Don't switch the images to fast
141 +** wait long enough for response
142 +* difficulties in seeing:
143 +** use large images in high quality
144 +** good lightning of tablet
145 +* difficulties in hearing:
146 +** slow speech
147 +** loud (but be careful with the amplitude of music, since to loud music can be stressful)
148 +** good pronunciation of words
