Wireless Technology and Disability Research
Submitted by Todd Hash on Fri, 08/28/2009 - 11:34am.
The Wireless Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center (RERC) is conducting research into the use and usability of wireless technology by people with a wide range of physical and cognitive disabilities through our Survey of User Needs. The Survey of User Needs takes only about 10 minutes to complete.
The information we collect helps us educate manufacturers of wireless devices and wireless service providers on ways to make their products and services more accessible and more useful. In this way we can fulfill our mission of advocacy for the development of new assistive technologies.
The survey can be found at:

Individuals needing a paper copy of the survey or who would like assistance completing the survey over the phone can contact Charles Elander of the Shepard Center at Charles_Elander@Shepherd.org.
