Our current focus
The working group has concluded and Fable is focused on bringing a cognitive audience to our customers.
Participants task force
The Participants task force will develop strategies to recruit and organize research participants while ensuring that our approach to informed consent works for various cognitive needs.
Methodologies task force
The Methodologies task force will conduct an in-depth literature review of user research methods for engaging with participants with cognitive disabilities. They will also contribute best practices based on their own research experiences.
Research task force
The Research task force will implement and iterate on the recommendations of the participants and methods task forces by designing and running a task-based evaluative user research study.
Authoring task force
The Authoring task force will document the findings of the research research. These will be shared with Fable customers as guidance on how to engage with and derive insights from a cognitive audience.
Looking ahead
Fable is committed to advancing best practices in the field of cognitive accessibility. At our core, we are dedicated to listening to, learning from, and leading alongside individuals with lived experience. We’ll continue to share our findings and improve our methods.
