Research Study Participant Recruitment

Greetings,

My name is Everett Woolsoncroft and I am a design researcher from the Berkeley Disability Lab at the University of California, Berkeley.
I am writing to invite you to participate in a research study about how people with disabilities go about navigating the world around them with a smartphone. If you decide to participate in this study, you will be asked to take part in a series of interviews which will take place over Zoom.

Topics will include: How to use your smartphone to navigate, How you navigate the world, What information resources you frequently use to gain accessibility information, your experiences with accessibility on UC Berkeley’s campus, and your thoughts on some navigation interface designers. Interviews are anticipated to last between thirty (30) and ninety (90) minutes.

While there is no direct benefit, the results of this study may benefit you and society. Participation is completely voluntary. You can choose to be in the study or not.

If you’d like to participate, have any questions about the study, or know anyone who may be interested in taking part, please email or contact me at everett_wool@berkeley.edu or (818) 450-6743. Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
Everett Woolsoncroft
