[nfbutah at gmail.com]

The Utah Parents Division of the NFB of Utah (National Federation of the Blind) is holding 2 focus groups next week, and we'd love to have you join us to provide perspective from your role as a family member. Individuals may choose to attend virtually or in-person, or could provide input without attending a session.

 

Focus Group Attendees will discuss barriers and challenges that could be alleviated with purposefully designed electronic tools, supports, or tangible products. A list of current and upcoming supports, programs, and tools will also be shared during the meeting.
