The Center for Assistive Technology and Environmental Access at Georgia Tech is conducting a study of people with mobility disabilities who work in an office setting:

Do you work in an office setting (I assume that covers most of the rehab. professionals on this list)?

Do you have some sort of mobility limitation that you address by using a mobility device (e.g., cane, scooter, wheelchair)?

If so, we would love to interview you for the study mentioned below!

Too often society focuses only on basic access within the workplace (e.g., can the person get to their office and use the computer once there), rather on the full components of “participating” in the workplace.  Claire is looking at this broader issue.

Thanks.

Research Study: Office Workers with Mobility DisabilityWe are currently seeking full-time employees who have a mobility disability to take part in a study that will examine their participation in the workplace.

Qualifications to Participate:

• Must hold a full-time job (>50% FTE) and work in an office environment (which can include educational settings).

Study involvement for qualified individuals will include:

• Completing 3-4 surveys about your participation in the workplace during a single telephone interview.  These will take between 40 and 60 minutes of your time.
• Reimbursement for participation ($40)
