Hello,

My name is Cameron Cassidy. I’m a legally blind PhD student at the
University of California, Irvine, studying technologies that support shared
picture book reading between adults and children when one is blind and the
other is sighted. Over the next few weeks, as part of a National Science
Foundation I-Corps program
<https://www.nsf.gov/funding/initiatives/i-corps/about-i-corps>, we are
aiming to speak with 100 blind adults who read picture books with children
or sighted adults who read with blind children. It’s a big goal!

If this describes yourself, would you be willing to chat with us for 15
minutes? You’re welcome to email Cameron <camcass at uci.edu> or book a
time through
Google Calendar <https://calendar.app.google/f5KtJhX1KFgNY6YG9> to
schedule. If you personally know someone who might be interested, please
share our message with them as well!


Thank you,
Cameron Cassidy
