The below research participant solicitation is being provided for
informational purposes only. The National Federation of the Blind has no
involvement in this research, but we believe that it may contribute to our
research mission.

Access Technology in the Workplace Study

   -

   We are recruiting people with blindness or low vision (age 21+) who are
   working or are interested in working to be part of a 5-year study about
   access technology (AT) use, particularly in the workplace. Some questions
   we will seek answers to are:
   -

   What access technology do you most commonly use?
   -

   How do you decide whether to use a specific access technology?
   -

   What are your technology challenges?
   -

   What tools do you need that aren’t currently available?


We want to know YOUR thoughts and experiences! Participation will involve
completing multiple surveys to help us determine how access technology use
is changing over time.


Why participate?

   -

   You’ll help identify gaps in access technology – what is needed but not
   available, which our technology company partners, including Microsoft,
   Google, OrCam, Vispero, and Aira are interested in!
   - Findings will allow us to make recommendations for access technology
   users, VR professionals, access technology specialists, and employers.
   - You’ll receive a small gift card after completing each survey and we
   will share study results with you.


Want to have your voice heard and help us with our 5-year study? Complete
our pre-screening survey online or call 662-325-2001 to schedule an
appointment for a telephone screening. Contact Michele McDonnall (
m.mcdonnall at msstate.edu) or Emily Damm (edamm at colled.msstate.edu) with
questions.
