link</DIV></DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hello, </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please forward this survey to any interested individual/organization
who
you fell may be interested.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My name is Merry-Noel Chamberlain, and I am a doctoral student in
Transformational Leadership at Concordia Universityout of Portland, Oregon.
I am
conducting an online study investigating confidence levels in Orientation
and
Mobility (O&M), post O&M training. This involves how often and
how
far people travel away from their home environment after they have completed
formalO&M training.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The targeted population for this survey are individuals who:</DIV>
<DIV>1) Are blind or visually impaired.</DIV>
<DIV>2) Completed *formal Orientation & Mobility (O&M)
training in or after 1999 in the United States. (*= Formal training consists
of
instruction received in a state or private rehabilitation training center
designed for individuals with visual impairments.)</DIV>
<DIV>3) Did not receive any *formal Orientation & Mobility
training from a private or state rehabilitation agencyprior to the age of
20.</DIV>
<DIV>4) Are between the ages of 20 and 70 (including the age of
20
and the age of 70).</DIV>
<DIV>5) Are NOT current or former O&M instructors.</DIV>
<DIV>6) Are NOT guide dog users.</DIV>
<DIV>7) Do not have additional disabilities (hearing impairment,
mental, physical or other health concerns) which hindersindependent
travel.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This study consists of an online survey, which will take about a half
an
hour to complete. In exchange for participation,participants will have the
opportunity to enter a raffle drawing for one of four $25 Visa gift card.
All
responses will be anonymous and confidential.</DIV>

<DIV>There are no risksto participating in this study other than the
everyday
risk of being on your computer as you take this survey. For me, I will
receive
the benefit of your answers which will help me understand your travel
experiences/habits after your formal O&M training. Inturn, you could
benefit
by reflecting on your own travel experiences/habits post your instruction.
</DIV>

<DIV>All data is collected anonymously. The data you provide will be held
privately within the on-line survey instrument. In the options section, if
you
were to write additional comments that made it to where we predict that
someone
could possibly deduce your identity, we would not include this informationin
any
publication or report. All data will be destroyed three years after the
study
ends. At any time, you can discontinue answering the questions in this
online
survey. Please print a copy of this for your records. </DIV>
