[Nfbmd] FW: Job Accommodations Research Study -- ParticipantsNeeded!

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi everyone,

Is this a national survey or just one for Marylanders? If it is a 
national survey, I can post this to other lists to get the word 
out.

Subject: Job Accommodations Research Study -- Participants 
Needed!
Importance: High



Sharing information.....

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"Adults with disabilities who need job accommodations (or 
"reasonable
accommodations" as defined by the Americans with Disabilities 
Act) are
being sought for a study by researchers at the University of 
Maryland,
College Park.  The purpose of this study is to examine factors 
related to
requests for job accommodations.



You are invited to share your perceptions on factors related to 
an
accommodation request by answering a few questions about 
yourself, your
organization, and your abilities and emotions in the course of
requesting accommodations.  This survey will take about 20~30 
minutes.



The first 100 participants completing the survey will have a 
1-in-4
chance of winning a $25 gift certificate; the rest of the 
respondents
completing the survey will have a 1-in-4 chance of winning a $10 
gift
certificate.  Moreover, you will be assisting service providers 
and
employers to learn more about how to improve the job 
accommodation
process for persons with disabilities.



If you have any questions about the research study, please 
contact
Shengli Dong at 301-405-9126 or by e-mail at
yerliang at umd.edu<mailto:yerliang at umd.edu
