[Greater-baltimore] Important Research on Braille Reading

[Riccobono, Mark]

Federationists,

This is a brand new Braille study with Towson University--not to be confused with earlier announcements. Please consider your participation. It is important that we gather meaningful data about Braille and its use by Braille readers.

A Study of the Effects of Using Braille as a Primary Reading Source
Participants are needed for an important study exploring the value of Braille reading in today's world.  In collaboration with the NFB, a team at Towson University is looking for experienced Braille readers who use Braille on a daily basis for school or work.  During this study you will read four stories, answer questions about the stories and complete some tasks that will measure your literacy skills. You will be compensated $50 for your participation. Sessions are completed individually, scheduled to your convenience, and should take less than two hours to complete.  We will be able to meet you at the NFB Jernigan Institute in Baltimore, Towson University, or at a location in the Washington/Baltimore area that is convenient for you.  Please contact Mike Eskenazi (978-979-1479), Melinda Hines (410-310-1997),, or email braillestudy at gmail.com<blocked::mailto:braillestudy at gmail.com> to see if you qualify for the study.
Thank you!
