[nfbwatlk] Research participation request

[Jedi]

I had a somewhat similar experience with the survey.it didn't really address whether or not techniques for daily living are visualor non-visual.a lot ofwhat I do is non-visual because thingswould be much harder if I tried to use what vision I have. Also, I felt that none of the coping questions don't represent where I'm at in my process; these were questions I'd expectto see on asurvey of the newly blind or those who haven't adjusted yet. So I wasn't sure how to answer. 

Respectfully,
Jedi
