<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Good morning! I have a paid study opportunity for blind and low vision users of smart TVs or smart TV boxes (Roku, AppleTV, Amazon FireTV Cube, etc.). It pays $150 each to the person and a caregiver. They
would need to come insid ethe home and do an interview and observe usage. Please share to folks with GLASS/Accessible Library/Whatever it’s called this month and with other groups within the NFB.
