<br>
Our research group at UW Madison is studying how people use assistive technologies to read images, graphs, and visualizations online. We are looking for participants to participate in a study to help us with our work!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
• At least 18 years old<br>
• Legally blind <br>

Participants will be given graphs, and asked to think aloud while they are using the technologies to inform the study team about their behaviors and thoughts, such as what assistive technologies they are using, what information can they perceive from the graphs,
what challenges they face. Participants will be compensated a $20 gift card for each hour of a study session.<br>
