As part of our accessibility commitment, we include blind or low vision (BLV) people across the entire design process to help us make Redwood much more accessible. This will help us build foundational knowledge about BLV users, identifying opportunities for design, iterating on ideas inflight, and ultimately evaluating what we’ve built. Specifically, the goal of the research is to understand the needs, challenges, and pain points of BLV users in the workplace, and as they relate to complex data consumption. <br><br> <o:p></o:p></p><h2>What does participation in this research look like?<o:p></o:p></h2><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><br><br>A typical session will be a 1-on-1 interview, lasting 30 minutes, in an effort to understand your needs and challenges in the workplace specifically related to complex data consumption.<br><br> <o:p></o:p></p><h2>What incentive will participants receive?<o:p></o:p></h2><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><br><br>Qualifying participants will receive a premium picnic blanket and tote bag as a thank-you gift <br><br> <o:p></o:p></p><h2>Who qualifies to participate?<o:p></o:p></h2><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p><ul type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Blind or low vision (BLV) professionals <o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>As part of the work you do, you use data or BI or analytics <o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>You rely heavily on an assistive technology to get your work done. <o:p></o:p></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><br> <o:p></o:p></p><h2>How can one sign up?<o:p></o:p></h2><p class=MsoNormal><br><br>Email Anil Lewis <a href="mailto:alewis@nfb.org">alewis@nfb.org</a> and express your intent to participate.
