People with Disabilities - We Want Your Opinion!
Please take 5 minutes to fill out this brief survey. A team of researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a short snapshot survey of people with disabilities to ask them about their identities and their experiences.

Your input will help us to better understand how people with disabilities view their lives and the society in which they live. Together, these surveys may lead to positive change for people with disabilities in a number of different ways.

JOB ACCOMMODATION STUDY
"Individuals with disabilities who need job accommodations (or "reasonable accommodations" as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act) are being sought for a study by researchers at the University of Maryland, College Park. The purpose of this study is to examine factors related to requests for job accommodations.
You are invited to share your perceptions on factors related to an accommodation request by answering a few questions about yourself, your organization, and your abilities and emotions in the course of requesting accommodations. This survey will take about 20~30 minutes.
The first 100 participants completing the survey will have a 1-in-4 chance of winning a $25 gift certificate; the rest of the respondents completing the survey will have a 1-in-4 chance of winning a $10 gift certificate.
Moreover, you will be assisting service providers and employers to learn more about how to improve the job accommodation process for persons with disabilities.
If you have any questions about the research study, please contact Shengli Dong at 301-405-9126 or by e-mail at yerliang@umd.edu
