>>>additional information to you or any members of VISIONS.  We will not

>>>Here are some details:

>>>I am studying inclusive design in mobile devices.  My research is focused

>>>time they use their cell phone to access the Internet, send an email or
>>>use an application over a one-week period.  They will NOT have to record
>>>phone calls or text messages, and will not be asked to record during work
>>>hours.  Participants will be reimbursed $50 for participating with the
>>>opportunity to earn an additional $1/diary entry (up to $50) - all paid 
>>>in
>>>an Amazon.com gift card.
>>>
>>>We are looking for participants who can answer "yes" to each of the
>>>following:
>>>- I am 21 years of age or older
>>>- I am living with a disability
>>>- I use my cell phone to go online or use applications (email, podcasts,
>>>etc.) on a regular basis
>>>- I use assistive technologies on my cell phone
