Greetings,



The below research participant solicitation is being provided for
informational purposes only. The National Federation of the Blind has no
involvement in this research, but we believe that it may contribute to our
research mission.





The purpose of this research study is to learn about how people with
disabilities use smart speakers and understand the benefits and challenges
you experience. The findings will help develop training materials and
improve smart speaker functions.

•     Self-report of presently living with a physical disability, low-vision
or blindness, or mild cognitive disability.

•     Score of 18 or higher on the MiniMental State Exam OR score of 12-22
on MMSE Blind

•     Live in a community-based setting
Participation Involves

1.    Complete a demographic survey and a questionnaire about your
experiences using a smart speaker.

2.    Engage in a focus group (no more than 90 minutes) with other
participants to discuss your thoughts and ideas relative to using your
smart speaker in day-to-day life.


Location

Focus groups sessions will occur either via Zoom (video or audio) or in
person at a mutually agreed setting familiar to participants and/or the
study team
