Seeking Critical Accessibility Information at Washington Seminar

 Dear Federationists,

 While you attend Washington Seminar on Monday, January 27th, be sure 
to stop by one of the NFB Legal Department’s survey tables.  In an 
effort to gather critical accessibility information from members, the 
NFB Legal Department, along with Brown, Goldstein & Levy, and 
D.C.-based law firm of Mehri & Skalet, will be conducting member 
surveys on the following topics:
 ·        Electronic Health Records
 o   We are seeking information from employees and students required to 
use electronic health record systems on the job or for school purposes.
 ·        Pre-employment Testing
 o   We are seeking information from anyone who has attempted to fill 
out an online job application or take an online employment test with 
screen access software or expects to do so in the near future. If the 
test you have taken or plan to take was developed by Kenexa, or if the 
job you have applied for or will be applying for is with a federal 
government contractor, we would be especially interested in speaking with you.
 ·        Technology in Higher Education
 o   We are gathering information from college and university students 
regarding Web applications for assignment collaboration and other technologies.
 ·        Common Core State Standard Assessment Field Tests
 o   We are seeking information regarding K-12 students that will be 
taking a field test or have been excluded from taking the test due to 
blindness.
 ·        Online and Mobile Banking
 o   We are gathering information pertaining to account management and 
other features.

 Survey tables will be located in the following locations at the 
Holiday Inn Capitol, Washington DC:

 ·        Apollo Room, from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
 ·        Discovery II Room, from 2:30 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
 ·        Discovery II Foyer, from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

 If you cannot attend Washington Seminar this year and are able to 
contribute to our information gathering efforts, please contact Valerie 
Yingling, Paralegal at the National Federation of the Blind at 
Vyingling at nfb.org or 410-659-9314 ext. 2440.
