Greetings,

Thank you for your reply.  I am reaching out to share an upcoming paid research study focused on the daily experiences of people with low vision.

We are looking for pairs of participants:

*                 One person with low vision

*                 One family member or friend who can help record videos for diary study activities

The study will explore how people with low vision navigate daily life, including how they use tools, devices, apps, services, accessibility features, and personal support. Feedback from participants can help shape a new tool designed to better support people with low vision.

The screener may be completed:

*                 By the person with low vision

*                 By the person with low vision together with a family member or friend

If selected, each participating pair may receive up to $420 total for completing all diary study activities and a final interview. The study is expected to take place in late July and early August.

To learn more or complete the screener, please visit:

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,

Andrew

Greetings, 

My name is Andrew Neang, and I am a summer user experience research intern at Gentex Corporation in Zeeland, Michigan and a graduate student at the University of Washington. I recently came across NFBMI-Talk mailing list and wanted to reach out.

I am writing to introduce an upcoming paid research study focused on better understanding the daily experiences of individuals with low vision, particularly how they use digital tools, devices, apps, and technology-enabled support in everyday life. Our goal is to learn directly from participants so that future technologies and accessibility solutions can be designed to be more useful, inclusive, and supportive.

With your permission, we would greatly appreciate the opportunity to share information about this study with your members so that interested individuals can learn more and decide whether they would like to participate. If you are not the appropriate person to approve this request, I would be grateful if you could direct me to the right contact or let me know the best way to proceed.

Their perspectives and feedback could help inform the development of technologies that better support people with low vision.

We also hope this outreach can serve as the beginning of a longer-term relationship with your organization, allowing us to continue learning from and engaging with the community you serve.

I would be happy to provide a recruitment blurb for your review, share additional study details, or answer any questions you may have.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Andrew Neang
User Experience Research Intern
Gentex Corporation
