"The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
Blindness is not what holds you back."

Subject: [Nfbnet-members-list] Participants needed for research study on
confidence level in orientation and mobility post O&M training

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.



My name is Merry-Noel Chamberlain, and I am a doctoral student in
Transformational Leadership at Concordia University out of Portland, Oregon.
I am conducting an online study investigating confidence levels in
Orientation and Mobility (O&M), post O&M training.  This involves how often
and how far people travel away from their home environment after they have
completed formal O&M training.



The targeted population for this survey are individuals who:

1)   Are blind or visually impaired.

2)   Completed *formal Orientation & Mobility (O&M) training in or after
1999 in the United States. (* = Formal training consists of instruction
received in a state or private rehabilitation training center designed for
individuals with visual impairments.)

3)   Did not receive any *formal Orientation & Mobility training from a
private or state rehabilitation agency prior to the age of 20.

4)   Are between the ages of 20 and 70 (including the age of 20 and the age
of 70).

5)   Are NOT current or former O&M instructors.

6)   Are NOT guide dog users.

7)   Do not have additional disabilities (hearing impairment, mental,
physical or other health concerns) which hinders independent travel.



This study consists of an online survey, which will take about a half an
hour to complete. In exchange for participation, participants will have the
opportunity to enter a raffle drawing for one of four $25 Visa gift card.
All responses will be anonymous and confidential.

There are no risks to participating in this study other than the everyday
risk of being on your computer as you take this survey. For me, I will
receive the benefit of your answers which will help me understand your
travel experiences/habits after your formal O&M training. In turn, you could
benefit by reflecting on your own travel experiences/habits post your
instruction.



All data is collected anonymously.  The data you provide will be held
privately within the on-line survey instrument. In the options section, if
you were to write additional comments that made it to where we predict that
someone could possibly deduce your identity, we would not include this
information in any publication or report. All data will be destroyed three
years after the study ends. At any time, you can discontinue answering the
questions in this online survey. Please print a copy of this for your
records.



If you have questions you can talk to or write the principal investigator,
Merry-Noel Chamberlain at

Thank you!
