Re: Recruiting assistive technology users for usability testing

Hi Angela,

We had a similar dilemma around Office2007 training. Here, our Human
Resources division allowed our IT Support staff, who work directly with
our assistive technology (A/T)users, to make discreet inquiries and
invitations to all our A/T users. Another approach might be to have
Human Resources make a general invitation, including to anyone using A/T
and those with customized settings to participate in testing. This
might help the HR section, but may still leave A/T users uncomfortable,
especially if a person must leave a work unit.
