Two Paid Research Opportunities Seeking People with Physical Disabilities
Research Opportunity 1 - The impact of assistive technologies and accommodations on the employment outcomes of people with physical disabilities
Seeking people with physical disabilities to share their experiences with employment, whether in full-time permanent employment and/or in non-traditional jobs (e.g., freelance, contract, temporary, etc.). We want to understand how assistive technology and/or accommodations impact employment outcomes. We will interview participants over Zoom or by telephone. The interview will be scheduled at a time that is convenient for you and will take approximately 90 minutes. You will receive $50 as compensation for your time.
