“…In contrast, there has been relatively little attention paid to improving accessibility for individuals with cognitive disabilities, including those with TBI [14,72]. While Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) do include the requirements for cognitive accessibility [106] and some research offers general guidelines on interface design for individuals with TBI [30,77], many social media platforms have not yet fully integrated these principles and do not offer accessibility options tailored to the wide array of challenges faced by individuals with TBI. The lack of assistive technology and accessibility options for social media platforms may negatively impact their ability to capitalize on the opportunities for connection offered by these media.…”

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result in chronic sensorimotor, cognitive, psychosocial, and communication challenges that can limit social participation. Social media can be a useful outlet for social participation for individuals with TBI, but there are barriers to access. While research has drawn attention to the nature of access barriers, few studies have investigated technological solutions to address these barriers, particularly considering the perspectives of individuals with TBI. To address this gap in knowledge, we used a participatory approach to engage 10 adults with TBI in conceptualizing tools to address their challenges accessing Facebook. Participants described multifaceted challenges in using social media, including interface overload, social comparisons, and anxiety over self-presentation and communication after injury. They discussed their needs and preferences and generated ideas for design solutions. Our work contributes to designing assistive and accessibility technology to facilitate an equal access to the benefits of social media for individuals with TBI.CCS CONCEPTS • Human-centered computing → • Accessibility → • Accessibility design and evaluation methods
