We are excited for our work to be a part of the latest issue of IEEE Computer Graphics and Application with the theme "Inclusive Data Experiences". This issue "...envisions a shift from traditional notions of accessibility toward a broader concept of inclusive data experiences..." #DataViz #A11y

Thank you for sharing the key messages from the @daraprojectcity.bsky.social team scoping review @edldproject.bsky.social Almost no research has explored whether data visualisations are accessible for people living with language disability. The Dara study is looking to change that!

It's almost the end of #DLDday and so here's my thread about Developmental Language Disorder. If you don't know about DLD then this is for you. If you know about DLD please share so more people learn about this common but widely unknown condition.

#DLDday is coming, so I’m starting a thread over a few days. DLD (Developmental Language Disorder) is all about spoken language. Words and sentences are tricky for people with DLD. And people don’t grow out of it. #DevLangDis @radld.bsky.social

The dara project is looking for adults (>18yrs) with #aphasia or developmental language disorder #DLD to take part research. We are exploring how people with communication needs use visual information. If you'd like to take part, we'd love to hear from you!

Information sheet requesting research participation for Project dara. It says:

"The Dara project 'Exploring Information' is looking for adults with Aphasia or Developmental Language Disorder' to explore visualisations." It goes on to explain "About the research" (data visualization for everyday decision making); "What will happen" (language assessment and diary exercise); and "Why this research is important" (existing research in data visualization doesn't consider language needs). 

If you are interested please contact Niamh.devane.2@city.ac.uk for more information.
