Subject: Recruiting for a Focus Group Session on Tuesday, November 10
Hi Marty! I hope you are having a great day! As part of Project INSPIRE,
Rett McBride and I are conducting a focus group study to gather information
about the experiences of postsecondary/college students who use braille in
STEM courses. Specifically we are interested in how students navigate the
accommodations process at their institution and the successes and
challenges in using braille materials in STEM courses.
Additional information about the study is available in the attached flyer.
If you know of a student who might be interested in participating, please
share this email with them.
If you could share about the focus group with the NFB of SC student group,
it would be greatly appreciated!
There is a short sign up form available at
https://uofsc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_85DqivJrGU9UKH3.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you!
Tina
