Subject: [Nfbv-announce] Students Needed for Research

FYI.  I know this researcher and think we should help recruit participants
for her study.

Best,

Fred Schroeder, President
National Federation of the Blind of Virginia

----------

Seeking Students for Research Study

 

Students who are between the ages of 16 and 22 years who are braille readers
and users of assistive technology are needed for a study. This study will
explore how you use both braille and electronic information for classroom
work, and how you learned these literacy practices. The purpose of this
research will be to add to our understanding of the current role of both
hard-copy (paper) braille and use of electronic access to information by
people who are blind from ages 16-22, and your attitudes and perceptions
about both braille and technology. This information will inform how we
prepare pre-service teachers to instruct young braille readers.

 

If you are interested in participating in this study or getting more
information, please contact me via email at  fmd22 at pitt.edu, by calling
412-521-5797, or by writing to me at:

Frances Mary D'Andrea

Pittsburgh PA 15260

 

If you are under 18, you MUST have your parents' or guardians'
permission. A consent form will be send to you in braille or electronically
after you verify that you are:

1. between the ages of 16-22

2. a student enrolled in school

3. a braille reader

4. a user of electronic assistive technology devices, hardware, or software.

If you are under 18, your parents will also receive a consent form that must
be signed before you can participate.

 

Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your interest! 

 

Frances Mary D'Andrea
