[Social-Sciences-List] Psychology

[Michael Walker]

Hi,

Does this group do psychological research associated with mental health and blindness? I’ll start off by introducing myself.

I’ve been blind since birth. I earned my bachelors degree in information systems from the university of Missouri St. Louis. After college, I worked as a programmer analyst for Boeing for six years. I’m now working as an assistive technology analyst for Citibank. These experiences have taught me a lot about the implications of Accessibility.

One of my favorite mental health topics is the psychological effects of inaccessible systems. What types of research is being conducted on this? I know I feel overwhelmed when things aren’t accessible.

Thanks,
Mike
