of the NFB Jernigan Institute. All that is required is for you to
read six short NPR stories on a refreshable Braille display and answer
questions about the stories. The Refreshable Braille Display will
be provided at the session. Even if you don't often read with
a Braille display, you can participate – we will provide a short training
session in the beginning if you need it. The entire study should
take around an hour, depending on your reading speed, and you will
receive $40 for your time. The session will take place at the

this important research!<br>
