[Deanna Ferrante (she / her) via athen-list]

Hello ATHEN Community,

Macmillan Learning is launching a paid student research opportunity to
learn from undergraduate students with disabilities about their
self-advocacy skills, and we would appreciate your support by amplifying
this opportunity to your students. I have included a note below that can be
shared.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Deanna

Hello Student,

Macmillan Learning is launching a new research initiative focused on how we
can better support students with disabilities, like you, to improve your
self-advocacy skills. We know that the transition from high school to
college for students with disabilities brings a drastic change in services
and support.

We would love to learn more about your self-advocacy experience: what is
working, what is challenging, and how we might help.

Qualifications:
-Undergraduate student with a disability
-18 years or older
-Attends a U.S.-based higher education institution
-All students who meet the prior 3 qualifications are welcome to fill out
the screener survey: https://forms.gle/TFmxHbQCrou6Vbmn6. Note that our
current recruitment need is students with disabilities who are NOT
currently registered with their disability/accessibility service office.

If you do not fit these qualifications, we encourage you to share this
opportunity with your network.

What to Expect:
-A 1-hour recorded interview via Zoom
-A chance to share your insights, challenges, and needs regarding
self-advocacy
-A demo of an early prototype
-Camera use is encouraged if you are comfortable, but optional
-This is a paid opportunity ($60 via Amazon e-gift card)

If you are interested, please fill out this Google Form screener survey prior
to Tuesday, September 23rd: https://forms.gle/TFmxHbQCrou6Vbmn6. Please
note: we cannot guarantee that every student who qualifies will be selected
to participate.

We are excited to learn from you!

Best,

Deanna Ferrante
