Anderson Department of Psychiatry, Department of Social Work, University of Pittsburgh --- # Summary: They say that persons with severe mental illness have cognitive deficits which may hinder access to websites. They argue that websites should be designed, or at least be more aware that websites should be design with those users' needs in mind. #Cognitive_Impairment - Spatial -- A ability to navigate and search for information - Verbal - ability to read Executive functions Working Memory Sustained attentions - Not to design too abstractly. Use clear navigation structures. - I think website designs changes every few years depending on design trends, for majority of users it is not a problem. But if it's designing for a specific, medical/clinical population, then perhaps need to be more mindful.
