Global Digital Accessibility Salary Survey
Introduction
The following survey seeks to collect salary and job-related data from professionals whose job responsibilities primarily focus on making technology and digital products accessible and usable to people with disabilities.
This survey is conducted in conjunction with the GAAD Foundation. The GAAD Foundation is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to disrupt the culture of technology and digital product development to include accessibility as a core requirement.
The survey will remain open through January 10, 2025. No personally identifying information is collected. Results will be reported as aggregated summaries and will be published February 28, 2025. Your participation is purely voluntary and you can choose to stop at any time. This is a research study that is of minimal risk and is conducted by Jared Smith of the Institute for Disability Research, Policy & Practice at Utah State University. It has been approved by USU's Institutional Review Board (#14722). There are 26 brief questions that will take approximately 5 minutes. Although you will not directly benefit from taking this survey, your experiences and opinions could help inform the web accessibility field. The risk includes a potential, although unlikely loss of confidentiality. However, your participation in this online survey involves risks similar to a person's everyday use of the Internet. The survey data is collected via an encrypted/SSL protected web server and stored in a secure database. After data analysis, an archive will be placed in a secure server and any copy on a local machine will be deleted. To retain a copy of this information, save this page in your web browser.
