Is some of that technology hard or</span><br><span>impossible for you to use due to accessibility barriers? Your story could</span><br><span>help change educators' and technologists' ideas about accessible</span><br><span>technology. Previous research [2] has shown that blind people's stories</span><br><span>helped to change educators' hearts and minds about accessible technology. </span><br><span></span><br><span>Dr. Natalie Shaheen [3], Assistant Professor of special education at</span><br><span>Illinois State University and former Director of Education for the National</span><br><span>Federation of the Blind, is doing research to gather blind and low-vision</span><br><span>students' (age 13-22) stories about using accessible and inaccessible</span><br><span>technology at school. Dr. Shaheen will share the results of the research</span><br><span>with educators and technologists to, hopefully, begin to change some of the</span><br><span>technology practices in education and increase disabled students' access. </span><br><span></span><br><span>Learn more about the research [4] and express your interest in</span><br><span>participating [5]. </span><br><span></span><br><span> [6] </span><br><span> [7] </span><br><span> [8] </span><br><span> [9] </span><br><span></span><br><span> [10] </span><br><span></span><br><span> National Federation of the Blind | 200 E Wells Street | Baltimore, MD</span><br><span>21230 | 410-659-9314 </span><br><span></span><br><span> Unsubscribe [11] | Opt Out [12] | Sign Up for Our E-newsletter [13] </span><br><span></span><br><span> .. </span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>Links:</span><br><span>------</span><br><span>[1] https://www.nfb.org/libraries/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=17377&qid=3807053</span><br><span>[2] https://www.nfb.org/libraries/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=17343&qid=3807053</span><br><span>[3] https://www.nfb.org/libraries/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=17344&qid=3807053</span><br><span>[4] https://www.nfb.org/libraries/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=17345&qid=3807053</span><br><span>[5] https://www.nfb.org/libraries/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=17346&qid=3807053</span><br><span>[6] https://www.nfb.org/libraries/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=17347&qid=3807053</span><br><span>[7] https://www.nfb.org/libraries/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=17348&qid=3807053</span><br><span>[8] https://www.nfb.org/libraries/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=17349&qid=3807053</span><br><span>[9] https://www.nfb.org/libraries/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=17350&qid=3807053</span><br><span>[10] https://www.nfb.org/libraries/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=17352&qid=3807053</span><br><span>[11] https://www.nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/unsubscribe?reset=1&jid=14355&qid=3807053&h=6eff2d7531ba4323</span><br><span>[12] https://www.nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/optout?reset=1&jid=14355&qid=3807053&h=6eff2d7531ba4323</span><br><span>[13] https://www.nfb.org/libraries/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=17353&qid=3807053</span><br><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>NFB-Announce mailing list</span><br><span>NFB-Announce@nfbnet.org</span><br><span>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfb-announce_nfbnet.org</span><br><span>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for NFB-Announce:</span><br><span>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfb-announce_nfbnet.org/rstigile%40gmail.com</span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
