Dear Federationists,<br>
<br>
While you attend Washington Seminar on Monday, January 27<sup>th</sup>,
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:<br>
· Electronic Health
Records<br>
o We are seeking information from employees and students
required to use electronic health record systems on the job or for school
purposes.<br>
· Pre-employment Testing <br>
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.<br>
· Technology in Higher
Education <br>
o We are gathering information from college and university
students regarding Web applications for assignment collaboration and
other technologies. <br>
· Common Core State Standard
Assessment Field Tests <br>
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.<br>
· Online and Mobile

management and other features.<br>
