The Workplace Technology Study

will examine how people with visual impairments use technology in three fields:
• Information Technology and Communications
• Telemedicine
• Banking and Finance
Information learned will be valuable to companies, technology designers, and those with visual impairments seeking jobs in these fields. To help us meet this objective we also need to understand how sighted people use technology in these fields.

In the first phase of the study, Dr. L. Penny Rosenblum and her team will be conducting nine (9) focus groups between October and November 2020.

Groups 1-3:
Individuals who are sighted and have no knowledge of accessible workplace technology

Groups 4-6:
Individuals who use screen reader, VoiceOver, or refreshable braille technologies

Groups 7-9:
Individuals who use primarily print with or without screen magnification technology.

Those who are chosen to participate will meet online for approximately one and-a-half to two hours. Each participant will receive a $25 Amazon gift card.
