Dear List Members,
Greetings! My name is Susana Verdinelli and I am a faculty member at Walden 
University. I really appreciate that you consider participating in a project 
that I am conducting. I hope you don't find my message intrusive.
The project explores the factors that contribute to the engaging and 
perseverance in graduate studies among persons with disabilities enrolled in 
online programs. I want to invite you to participate in this project. I 
believe that understanding the factors that contribute to academic 
persistence in online environments may help recognize students with 
disabilities' needs and inform educational institutions how to better 
address them. The title of the project is: Persistence Factors in Pursuing a 
Higher Degree among Graduate Students with Disabilities. The study received 
IRB approval from Walden University.
You can participate in this study if you meet the following three 
conditions: (1) You are a graduate student, (2) You are a person with 
disabilities (e.g. (a) physical or sensory conditions, (b) health impairment 
or problem, (c) learning disability, or (d) attention deficit disorder, (3) 
You successfully completed at least one quarter in your online program. You 
have to be enrolled in an online program, although not necessarily in a full 
online school as the one I work for. You will be completing a demographic 
form and participating in a phone interview that will be audio recorded. The 
phone interview is expected to last 45-70 minutes. A brief follow up 
interaction with the researcher will take place to clarify aspects of the 
interview.
A 50 (fifty) dollar compensation will be given to each participant.
If you have questions about me or about this project or you just want to 
know something else before committing to it, please contact me at:
