Dear All,
We have received an invitation to participate in the survey outlined below,
which gives a good opportunity for users of assistive technology to engage with
researchers and policy makers who are working to frame the guidelines for these
technologies.
The closing date for any responses is July 31st.
Kind regards,
Stuart

Subject: Online survey on Assistive technologies for the inclusion of people
with disabilities
Dear Sir or Madam,
The Science and Technology Impact Assessment Panel of the European Parliament
(STOA) has commissioned a foresight study on Assistive Technologies for the
inclusion of people with disabilities in society, education and jobs.
As part of this study, we are conducting a European-wide online survey
involving persons who are blind and visually impaired, deaf and hard of
hearing, and people with autistic spectrum disorders. This survey aims to
provide participants with an opportunity to share their experiences and
opinions about assistive technologies with researchers and policy-makers who
are engaged with framing the guidelines and regulations for these technologies.
The participation of people with disabilities in this survey supports that such
technologies are tailored to the needs of people who use them.
As a national association of central importance we would like to ask you for
your support in the survey. We would be very grateful if you could circulate
the survey to other relevant organisations in your country, and by directly
distributing the questionnaire as widely as possible to affected persons for
completion before 31st July. We include below the links to the online
questionnaire and further details on our project.
