My name is Melissa Helquist, a PhD Candidate from the Department of English
at Texas Tech University (and Associate Professor at Salt Lake Community
College).  I am recruiting participants for a dissertation study about how
individuals with low vision or blindness read, write, listen to texts, and
use the Internet.

Participants in this dissertation study will be asked to share their
experiences in a voluntary one-hour interview by phone or in person. They
may be invited to participate in additional interviews and observations.
Participants should be 18 or older and either blind or low vision.


Participation in this study will be confidential. Before participating in
the study, participants will receive detailed information about the study
and information about protection for participants.

Dr. Sean Zdenek  (806-392-6696; sean.zdenek.ttu.edu) or Melissa Helquist
(801-875-1281; melissa.helquist at ttu.edu) can answer any questions you have
about the study. You can also ask the IRB Coordinator of the Texas Tech
University Institutional Review Board. Call (806) 742‐3905 or contact the
Texas Tech University Institutional Review Board for the Protection of Human

Subjects, Office of the Vice President for Research, Texas Tech University,
Lubbock, Texas 79409.
