Subject: User Testing -- Invitation to Participate

[Sorry for duplicate postings - DJ]

Good Afternoon -

I thought some folks on the SIG-11 Distribution List might be interested in a
small research project I'm conducting in Washington, DC and San Diego at CSUN.
I'm also wondering if you could help me locate a few participants for this
study, on very short notice. 

I'm conducting a small usability study in DC next week (Tuesday, March 8th).
I'm looking for 4 participants with disabilities as follows: 

1. One (1) wheelchair user who otherwise has full upper body range of motion
in their arms and hands. 

2. Three (3) persons with fine motor control disabilities, but otherwise
would attempt to use a large touch screen interface (folks with RSI and MS
are ideal) 

This is for research and each person is paid a $75 stipend. I know this means
that Fed employees can't be compensated. But I'll take whoever I can get at
this point. The test lasts about 30 minutes. 

AT CSUN, I'm looking for two (2) screen magnifier users who are experienced
web and iPad users. If you are interested, please feel free to contact me
directly, by email: mpaciello@paciellogroup.com  For this test, each
participant is paid $50.00. Again, the test last about 30 minutes. 

I apologize if it's inappropriate for me to recruit participants via this
list; it's difficult finding potential subjects with disabilities. But I
think most folks who know me understand that I am sincere and dedicated to
enhancing the lives of individuals with disabilities to information and
communication technology. 

Regards and thank you,

Mike
