Help us learn the best way to communicate disability employment research findings
How do you like to get your research news? Video, webinar, or brief? Your expertise is needed!
We are currently recruiting participants for a research project that is designed to identify the best way to share research results with people and organizations that provide employment services for people with disabilities.
Your participation will help the disability community, including those with mental health, intellectual, and cognitive disabilities by helping us figure out the best way to get meaningful research findings to the people who need it.
You may qualify for our study if:
- You are an administrator or provider of employment services for people with disabilities.
- You can offer approximately 2-3 hours of time over the course of a month in Summer 2022. We expect you will be asked to review relevant study materials at the end of June.

We will ask you to either watch a video, read printed material, or join a webinar and then request your feedback.
You are eligible if you:
- Are 18 years old or older.

- Can read English at a 9th grade reading level.
- Can understand spoken English at a 9th grade reading level or be fluent in American Sign Language (ASL).
- Can access materials both visually and auditorily (or with ASL).
