Lisa is currently lead editor and chair for Cognitive and Learning Disabilities Accessibility Task Force (COGA TF) at the Web Accessibility Initiative at the W3C . The Taskforce has just published the 1st draft of the User Research.

She is exploring how inclusive design can include cognitive diversity, including dementia and age-related cognitive decline.

Lisa is a long time named contributor to WCAG 2.0 – the benchmark standard for accessibility for inclusion worldwide. She was the initial author and editor of the Accessibility for Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) standard. WAI-ARIA is now a W3C recommendation and is becoming the basis of the accessibility layer of the internet.
