The information below may be of interest to you.

 

 

A research team with GfK User Centric is conducting a number of usability
studies with individuals who are blind or have low vision and are interested
in helping them identify ways in which they can improve accessibility for
several commonly used software applications.

 

The group is looking for individuals in the Chicago area to potentially
participate in their research to improve the usability of programs people
use every day.

 

Interested participants will need to come to a research facility in either
downtown Chicago or the Chicago suburb of Oakbrook Terrace for a one-on-one
interview lasting approximately two hours.  These interviews will be
conducted throughout September. 

 

Participants will be compensated $150 for their time and will have the
opportunity to influence changes in the way these programs support
accessibility and universal design for people with disabilities.

 

Interested respondents are invited to provide some preliminary information
to the research team by filling out an online survey. Those who qualify will
be contacted directly with more details and to schedule interviews.

 

The link below goes to the online survey, hosted by Survey Monkey. The
survey should take about 10 minutes. All responses to the survey will be
kept confidential by GfK, and only the immediate UX research team will have
access to them.
