Abstract

En 中文
Current data visualization research demonstrates very limited inclusion of users with language disabilities. To address this, this article introduces the language disabilities developmental language disorder (DLD) and aphasia. We present outcomes from a novel qualitative diary study exploring whether people living with either DLD or aphasia experience and engage with data visualization in their day-to-day lives. Outcomes reveal evidence of both exposure to, and engagement with, data visualization across a week-long period alongside accompanying experiences of inclusion and exclusion of the benefits of data visualization. We report types of data visualization tasks and application domains encountered and descriptions of issues experienced by participants. Findings highlight a critical need for increased awareness of language access needs within the discipline of data visualization and a case for further research into design practices inclusive of people with language disabilities.
