Cognitive impairment

Cognitive impairments are varied, but may be categorised as memory, perception, problem-solving and conceptualising disabilities.

Dyslexia can cause significant problems in remembering even short sequences of numbers in the correct order.

People with an intellectual impairment can often function well when they are familiar with the terminal and system, but can be easily confused when required to respond quickly.
