My name is Chuck Elander and I work for the Wireless Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center (RERC), a federally funded program here at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta dedicated to promoting universal access to wireless technology by people with disabilities.

We are conducting research into the use and usability of wireless technology by people with a wide range of physical and cognitive disabilities through our Survey of User Needs (SUN). The Survey of User Needs takes only about 10 minutes to complete. The information we collect helps us educate manufacturers of wireless devices and wireless service providers on ways to make their products and services more accessible and more useful. In this way we can fulfill our mission of advocacy for the development of new assistive technologies.

The survey can be found at: http://www.wirelessrerc.org/survey/

The survey en Español at: http://www.wirelessrerc.org/encuesta/

We do have paper copies that I can mail to respondents if they prefer that method or require assistance completing the form. Also, respondents can call me and I will help them complete the survey over the phone.
