Designing for Cognitive Differences

I was at the 25th anniversary celebration for the Inclusive Design Research Centre on Saturday, and it raised in my mind the question of how broadly we should think of inclusivity (because it was baically an open recenption, and I am just not comfortable at open receptions - I need structure). So the categories described by this article caught my eye. One was 'inattention', which cover people with things like ADHD or who are distracted by motion. Another was 'anxiety', which may stem from unclear form or vague instructions. And finally, to complete the set, 'depression'. All these are pretty significant diabilities if you have them (and lightly dismissed by those who don't) and when we think of inclusive design we shoul be thinking of these as well.
