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