“Workplace Features and Aid Function Survey”
The WorkRERC (Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center) is conducting an important survey on how our abilities, job requirements and accommodations are related. I think this is an opportunity that many AAC users should be excited to participate in. All of the RERC’s have conducted extensive research and work to provide people who use AAC employment opportunities. My personal evolvement with the RERC was when I was an active member of The Writers Brigade. During that time I learned writing skills which help me with my current job, my communication abilities and will assist me in any future employment.
I think this is a very important survey for AAC users to take because most of us have multiple disabilities and need multiple accommodations. Please time a little time to complete this survey.

The WorkRERC has a survey underway that examines the relationships between functional ability, job requirements, and workplace accommodation use. Workplace accommodations are technology, physical changes to the workplace, or policy changes that employees use to help them be more effective in their jobs.
You are eligible to take this survey if you have a disability or loss of function AND are employed or volunteer. The survey is anonymous, and takes an average of 30 minutes to complete. You will have the option of saving your responses to continue the survey later.
Please visit http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/200473/ workplace-features-that-aid-function where you will find more information about WorkRERC and have the opportunity to complete the survey.
Those with difficulty accessing the computer can complete the survey by telephone. Please call 404-894-0561 to schedule a phone survey.
Please pass this information along to anyone you know who may be interested in taking this survey. We would like our survey results to represent a wide range of jobs and accommodation needs.
Your feedback is always valued. AACConsumerNet@aacinstitute.org.
