[NFBV-Alexandria] FW: Request for Participants

[BrianMiller]

Good morning Greater Alexandria chapter,

 

Here is an email request for participants in a study involving tactile graphics… The chapter is not sponsoring or endorsing the study, but I offered to share this request in case any chapter members would like to assist. There is some compensation offered. 

 

Thanks,

 

Brian R. Miller, Ph.D.

Subject: Request for Participants

 

Hello John, Brian and John,

 

We are having difficulty recruiting participants for an ongoing study.  It involves assessing a new method to automatically produce appropriate tactile diagrams from visual pictures and diagrams within less than 1 minute.  We are looking for individuals who are blind or visually impaired who are 16 years of age or older who have used tactile graphics in middle school or high school. The study takes approximately 4-5 hours, participants will be paid for participating ($15/hr) and also compensated for travel. Although we are located in Richmond, we would be willing to arrange to perform the study in the Washington area for those located there.

 

Potential participants should contact Tyler Ferro at ferrot at vcu.edu or 804-828-7839 <tel:(804)%20828-7839> .

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Sincerely,

Dianne Pawluk
