The following research invitation has been approved by the NFB
Research Advisory Council.

Researchers at the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) are
conducting a study to document the accessibility challenges that
blind, low vision, and deafblind people experience while using
websites and mobile apps in daily life. We are looking for
participants to fill out a series of daily diaries sharing your
experiences with websites and mobile apps in real time.
To qualify for this study, you must be:
•	A person who identifies as blind, deafblind, or having low vision;
•	At least 18 years old;
•	Living in the United States; and
•	A person who uses websites and/or mobile apps daily with assistive technology.
We are asking interested individuals to fill out this brief interest
form, and we will select 20-25 people to complete the diaries to get a
balance of experiences. If you are selected to complete the diaries,
you will be asked to spend 5-10 minutes each evening answering
questions on a short online survey for 10 consecutive days in November
2023.
Those who are selected and complete all the diaries will receive a $40
gift card.
We’ll use what we learn from the diaries to better understand the
types of daily tasks that present barriers on the Web and with mobile
apps and how those barriers affect you. We will use the information to
help policymakers and technology developers understand how to make
websites and mobile apps more accessible.
