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. 

Are you (or do you know) a blind or low-vision student whose school uses
technology for teaching and learning? Is some of that technology hard or
impossible for you to use due to accessibility barriers? Your story could
help change educators' and technologists' ideas about accessible
technology. Previous research [2] has shown that blind people's stories
helped to change educators' hearts and minds about accessible technology. 

Dr. Natalie Shaheen [3], Assistant Professor of special education at
Illinois State University and former Director of Education for the National
Federation of the Blind, is doing research to gather blind and low-vision
students' (age 13-22) stories about using accessible and inaccessible
technology at school. Dr. Shaheen will share the results of the research
with educators and technologists to, hopefully, begin to change some of the
technology practices in education and increase disabled students' access. 

Learn more about the research [4] and express your interest in
participating [5].
