Opportunity to Participate in Research!<br><br>
Shannon B. Rinaldo, Ph.D. from Texas Tech University is seeking visually
impaired adults ages 18-65 (older persons may also be considered) to
participate in a research study while attending the National Federation
of the Blind National Convention in Detroit July 3-8, 2009. Scheduled
sessions will be set as to not interfere with the general sessions of the
conference. The study involves listening to or reading Braille
advertisements and completing questionnaires. Braille readers are
preferred but the study may be able to incorporate non-Braille readers.
Participants will be paid $20 for one hour or less of their time. The
study requires approximately 70 participants. Contact Shannon Rinaldo via
phone (859) 492-4939; email Shannon.rinaldo@ttu.edu; or contact her room
at the Marriott Renaissance Center during the conference. Participants
will be scheduled prior to the conference, so please contact the
researcher as soon as you decide you are interested!<br><br>
