Paid Research Opportunity with Perkins Access
Perkins Access Consulting, in partnership with Curriculum Associates, is seeking blind and visually impaired elementary and middle school students (grades 4-8) to participate in a paid user experience research study. This research will help ensure that i-Ready, a widely used digital literacy platform, is fully accessible and user-friendly for students with visual disabilities.
Why participate?
Your child's feedback will directly contribute to improving the accessibility of a platform used by students across the country. This is not a test of student abilities—we simply want to understand how well i-Ready’s literacy lessons work with screen readers and magnification software, and how they can be improved.
Who we’re looking for:
Blind or visually impaired students in grades 4-8 who use screen readers or magnification software to access their school curriculum.
Parents and teachers of the visually impaired (TVIs) are welcome to join the sessions.
Session Details:
In-Person (at Perkins) – Available for students who use screen magnification software and can attend in person. Sessions will be held on the Perkins campus in April.
Remote (via Zoom) – Available for students who use screen readers. Remote sessions will be held in April.
Testing windows: April 14-18, April 21-25, or April 28-May 2.
Compensation: Participants (students and TVIs) will receive a $75 gift card for a one-hour session. An additional $25 transportation reimbursement is available for in-person participants who need it.
