[Blindmath] Survey regarding perceptions of stereotypes aboutblindness

[Amanda Lacy]

I wasn't sure how to answer a couple of these. For example, sighted people 
think I'm very bad at navigating shopping malls and airports because it's 
true. I get overloaded and disoriented by too many stimuli and just ask for 
a guide, so does that mean I'm helping to maintain a stereotype?

Hi all,
My name is Arielle Silverman and I am a doctoral student in the
Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of
Colorado. As you may know, I am conducting a series of studies for my
dissertation examining blind people’s experiences finding employment
as well as your experiences in interacting with the sighted public. I
would appreciate your help with a brief online study investigating
your views about ways in which blind people tend to be stereotyped by
society.
The study should take no more than 15 minutes to complete. In
appreciation of your time, you will have the opportunity to enter a
raffle drawing to win a $50 gift certificate to a merchant of your
choice (Amazon.com, Itunes.com, Olive Garden, or AMC Theaters). All of
your responses in the study will be anonymous and confidential. Anyone
who is legally blind and at least 18 years old is welcome to
participate.
To begin please go to:

Thank you as always for your assistance.
Best,
