</font><font size=2 color="#0000FF">October 22-24,
2010</font><font face="Calibri" size=2 color="#1F497D">, we invite you to
participate in a fun and easy study to measure Braille reading
styles. The research is being conducted by Towson University and
National Public Radio</font><font size=2 color="#0000FF">
</font><font face="Calibri" size=2 color="#1F497D">with the consultation
of the NFB Jernigan Institute. All that is required is for you to
read six short NPR stories on a refreshable Braille display and answer
questions about the stories. The Refreshable Braille Display will
be provided at the session. Even if you don't often read with
a Braille display, you can participate – we will provide a short training
session in the beginning if you need it. The entire study should
take around an hour, depending on your reading speed, and you will
receive $40 for your time. The session will take place at the

you. We hope you can find time in your busy day to help us with
this important research!<br>
