The only disability set I haven't
> covered is cognitive. Not sure how to test that.

I have used some of the exercises here:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/misunderstoodminds/attention.html This is a website
that is a companion to a PBS special called Misunderstood Minds. It helps
people to understand how distractions cause so much cognitive overload for
some people that they are not able to complete tasks. These are not
accessible exercises, but perhaps you can find a way to modify them so that
all participants can use them.
