Hi,
I wish someone would tell us some options for teleworking as a blind person.
What kinds of work are blind people doing from home and what are the options
available?
Thanks
Lauren

My name is Amin Makkawy. I am a graduate student at the University of North
Carolina Charlotte conducting research on the workplace experience of blind
and/or visually impaired employees who work virtually (also known as
teleworking or working remotely).

If you are over 18 years old, identify as visually impaired and/or blind,
and have been employed fulltime for the last six months in a position where
you telework at least approximately 75% of the time, I want to hear from
you! Below is a link where you can learn more and participate in a short 30
minute survey I have designed. In fact if you participate in this survey by
December 24th, you can choose to provide your e-mail address at the end of
the survey (this will be disconnected from the data you provide) in order to
be entered into a drawing for one of three $30 amazon.com gift cards!
