I will be attending a training conference with ETS (Educational Testing Services) to aid in a study to address the accessibility of braille display for their testing delivery.<br />I need to recruit at least 5 students, high school age on at least an 8th grade reading level, to participate in the study by taking a reading comprehension style exam via refreshable braille display. I am looking to find students in the North/Central Louisiana, Southern Arkansas, West Mississippi and East Texas areas as I am located in Ruston, LA. I have informational/parental consent forms, and the students will be awarded a $50 gift card for participating (pass/fail not a factor). Please contact me as soon as possible if you have any students who are interested in participating as the student participation window closes on December 14, 2013.<br />Thank you in advance.<br /><br /><hr width="100%" size="2" /><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><b /></font><b><font face="georgia,times new roman,times,serif"><b><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">With regards,<br /></font></b></font><font face="georgia,times new roman,times,serif"><b><font face="tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">R.
