The below research participant solicitation is being provided for
informational purposes only. The National Federation of the Blind has no
involvement in this research, but we believe that it may contribute to our
research mission.
 
Researchers at the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) are conducting a
study to document the accessibility challenges that blind, low vision, and
deafblind people experience while using websites and mobile apps in daily
life. We are looking for participants to fill out a series of daily diaries
sharing your experiences with websites and mobile apps in real time.
To qualify for this study, you must be:
*	A person who identifies as blind, deafblind, or having low vision;
*	At least 18 years old;
*	Living in the United States; and
*	A person who uses websites and/or mobile apps daily with assistive
technology.
We are asking interested individuals to fill out this brief interest form,
and we will select 20-25 people to complete the diaries to get a balance of
experiences. If you are selected to complete the diaries, you will be asked
to spend 5-10 minutes each evening answering questions on a short online
survey for 10 consecutive days in November 2023.
Those who are selected and complete all the diaries will receive a $40 gift
card.
We'll use what we learn from the diaries to better understand the types of
daily tasks that present barriers on the Web and with mobile apps and how
those barriers affect you. We will use the information to help policymakers
and technology developers understand how to make websites and mobile apps
more accessible.

The National Federation of the Blind is a community of members and friends
who believe in the hopes and dreams of the nation's blind. Every day we work
together to help blind people live the lives they want.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
