Abstrakt: People with cognitive disabilities need careful matching to find appropriate employment. However, it can be difficult for them to articulate their worries and concerns in a timely and useful manner. This work demonstrates how appropriately-designed technology can assist in accommodating cognitive disabilities, providing avenues to assess their concerns about work environments. A mobile application was developed with targeted repeated multimedia surveying to assess work concerns, with temporal- and geo-tagged answers stored for review by a personal assistant, employer, job coach, or person with a cognitive disability. An expert review provided feedback to ensure an appropriate application. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
