Subject: FW: Request for Participation -- Smith-Kettlewell Wayfinding Survey

Greetings!

The Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute (S-K), in collaboration
with researchers at Accessible Design for the Blind and U.C. Santa
Barbara, is conducting a survey of wayfinding tools and techniques
used by blind and visually-impaired people in their every-day lives.

If you have already participated in our survey, we would like to thank
you very much for your help. If you have not yet taken our survey, we
would like to invite you to do so. We want to know how you get around,
how comfortable you feel in various situations, what other
disabilities you have, and what tools and techniques you use in your
daily travels.

By participating in the S-K Wayfinding Survey, you will extend our
knowledge of how real blind and visually-impaired people travel
independently. You will also help to improve the independence of
future travelers with visual disabilities by sharing your experience.

You can participate in the S-K Wayfinding survey on the web, by phone,
or by TTY. The survey should take no more than 20 minutes to complete,
and your responses will be completely confidential. We eagerly look
forward to your participation and thank you in advance for your help.

To take the survey on the web or ask questions about it:

Take the survey by phone:
(415) 345-2013 -- We will call you back.

Take the survey by TTY:
(415) 345-2290 -- We will call you back.

Please share this announcement with any individuals or lists you think
might be interested. If you do forward it, please take the time to
remove any extra e-mail headers to improve readability.

Again, we thank you for your valuable assistance with this important
research project.
