Looking at the code that lies behind the forms, at least on the page
that asks for background information, there are a couple of issues. For
example, the form labels for Question 6 are incorrectly associated with
Question 8.
Each form label should be associated with its corresponding form
input. This is done by giving the for="" and id="" attributes respectively
the same values. Although this has been done on this page, the id="" values
are not unique in every case, so the relationship between different labels
and form fields is getting confused.
It's very easy to fix, but will make all the difference to people's
experiences completing the survey. I'd imagine that similar code issues lie
behind the problems you've described.
For reference, some good code examples for accessible form inputs
and their corresponding labels can be found here:

Hi, well, I can't do the experiment because the options aren't speaking with
Jaws. You need to make the website accessible and come back to us! In a lot
of the questions, all options appear blank apart from the last one, and in
the personal details section, the text was below the check box making it
counter intuitive!

Hi all,
We're developing a prototype system which takes numerical data found on maps
online (like census data) and communicates it as texts so that it's
accessible to the blind and VI community.
I'm running a final experiment now to find out which texts are most
preferred by blind and VI users so that we can implement these in our
system, and so I was hoping that you might participate if you're blind or
severely visually-impaired. The experiment takes on average half an hour and
it's online, so you can do it whenever is best for you, though it needs to
be done all in one sitting without taking breaks or pauses in the middle.
Your participation will really make a difference and help us to produce
texts which make the most sense to blind and VI users in general. Please
forward this on to anyone else who you think might be willing to
participate.
The website to go to to take the experiment is:
